My family really enjoys this refreshing salad. If strawberries aren’t available, you can substitute mandarin oranges and dried cranberries. —Irene Keller, Kalamazoo, Michigan

Keeping Lettuce FreshTo store lettuce to keep it crisp and fresh, wash lettuce in cold water and drain very well. Use a “salad spinner” or pat it dry with paper towels. Store in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container with a dry paper towel in the bottom to absorb any leftover moisture. (Be certain to replace the towel if it gets wet.) For extra-crispy salads, you may want to use a lettuce variety like romaine that’s naturally more crisp.

Easy to do, good with or without onions. Did not loved the dressing but it wasn't bad either, its just that I don't like mayo. Would like to try it with another dressing the next time.

I made this for a church potluck and it was delicious! I only got a small taste of the dressing when I was checking the taste but we were in such a rush to get all the food out I didn't get to try it all together before or after since by the time I got through the line the bowl was literally scrapped clean! Fabulous recipe!!

I did not add the onions because my family does not like them; however, I must say this was hit even without them! My son ,who will not eat any vegetables unless they are deep-fried, really loved this salad!

I made this salad & took it to my niece & nephews birthday party. Since there was a lot of family there, I doubled the recipe. Let me tell you....Everyone went back for seconds!! My sister said it was so refreshing to have. For those of us who love blue cheese, I didn't put it in the salad (not all kids like blue cheese), but I added some to mine & it went very well with this salad. Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm!!!! Five Stars Indeed!!

The first time I made this recipe was for Easter and it was a hit!! Have made it several times since and each time is like I made it for the first time. People love it. It is something a little different and certainly refreshing and light. I use pecans instead of almonds and it is just as great.
