Like many others have stated this recipe has lots of potential. However, as the recipe is written it did not get many raves in my house. I actually cut the spices in half and added the asparagus earlier as my family likes the asparagus really tender. Thought the spices were still a bit too strong when done. Next time I try this dish I will sprinkle the spices over the dish lightly and add some butter for additional flavor.

My mom made this all the time growing up in Kansas (big hit with everyone I knew in KANSAS). My husband and I moved to Virginia and I made it at a potluck at work and nearly everyone hated it to a point they told me that pasta and fruit shouldn't be mixed together. I was given the hardest time for months. Definitly not an east coast thing.

My mother has been making this recipe since I was a kid and my entire family loves it. We have always called it frog eyes salad (scary name I know). Since it is such a hit with the family I made it for everyone at work for a big potluck we had and it was a total flop. With the exception of maybe 1 or 2 people I was given the hardest time for months. It is definitely a love or hate dish. Better left in the family if you ask me.
