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.

Outstanding! Added some roasted chicken breast and mandarin oranges. Couldn't ask for an easier and more delicious summer dinner :)

This dressing was awesome. Just tart enough. To make it a little healthier I used fat free mayo & sour cream. Couldn't tell any difference. This is a keeper.

I was expecting a good salad. I was not expecting one of the best salads I've ever had, but it is. I'll be making it for every cook out and get together this summer. Yum.

I made this for a valentine's day party that served 50+ people. Everyone said it was beautiful & delicious and one person said it was the highlight of the whole dinner!

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!
