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.

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.

This is easy to put together and every time I have made it my guest love it. Sometimes I add blueberries, mandrin oranges and chicken and call it dinner!

Amazingly delicious! Was a hit at the party! Dressing is so light and tasty and I used low-fat mayo and skim milk! Didn't use the candies almonds, just used blanched, slivered almonds and it was perfect! Was asked to bring it again to the next family outing!
