I LOVE this salad! I've put it together on multiple occasions and I have heard nothing but good things from my fiance and family in Texas. It's easy to make and delicious!

Lovely salad, the ideal mix of flavors with sweet, tart and savory. This will be on our table often, and with easy variations on the nuts, apple type and lettuce type.
