I've been making this salad for years -- it was the first recipe I ever tried from this site. I often take it to potlucks and small group meetings, and people always go crazy for it! I make it according to the recipe; I think toasting the almonds in a bit of butter really ups the flavor. I do use Craisins, as other reviewers have suggested, and also sometimes throw in some blue or gorgonzola cheese, but otherwise, I stick to the recipe, and it always turns out great!

Not quite sure why people are so down on this recipe. It's a nice, moist casserole, and the biscuits on top are a great contrast in terms of taste and texture. I will grant you that if you don't add a bit of additional seasoning, it's a bit bland, so I typically add some onion salt and paprika, but for my family, that's all we need. :-)
