I've made this a few times and it is delicious! The only thing i've changed is I left out the watercress and instead used arugala and I added more goat cheese because I love it so much!

Great Salad!I loved, loved, loved this salad recipe! I did have to make some adjustments to the dressing only because it was a bit too tart for me and my husband. I added a tablespoon of honey. I can't wait to make this dish again.

Put this in a salad bowl and I guarantee that by the end of dinner, the bowl will be empty. I've served it twice and my friends completely finished the bowl. This is a recipe that will make me regret the end of summer and fresh strawberries. P.S. I left out the watercress (I'm not a fan of it).
