Perfect as is, and easy to add or subtract or substitute with other fruits and cheeses.

When I submitted this recipe it was intended that the dressing be served on the side and put on the salad to one's liking. If the balsamic is too strong, I have also served it with an olive oil vinaigrette or a raspberry vinaigrette.

Very nice combination of flavors. I followed the recipe exactly but next time I'll cut back on the vinaigrette. It was a bit much.

I have made this twice now-once without chicken as a side salad and once with chicken for dinner. It is great both ways and got rave reviews, this is my favorite salad this summer!

This is a perfect summer salad. Quick, easy and delicious. I love using market fresh strawberries in summer salads. Thanks for the recipe!

It was delicious, but the presentation was kind of disappointing. I think it would look prettier if all the ingredients were layered over the lettuce and then drizzled with dressing. Very tasty though!

I should have served the balsamic vinaigrette on the side,it was to strong and over-took the flavor's of everything else.

I made this salad for my book club and everybody raved about it(and took seconds)! The only change was that I didn't add the cranberries and just added more strawberries. Thanks, Amy, for a great summer recipe.

The salad has it all! Its the perfect summer dish- bbq chicken, fruit, cheese... I couldn't ask for anything better. Next time I might use a different apple, since my husband wasn't as wild about the sour apple (although he still really liked the salad). Overall, I think this is one of my new favorite recipes!

Have you ever been craving something but you weren't sure what? This salad will probably satisfy it. It is sweet, creamy, and salty all at the same time. I couldn't find strawberries at the store (during strawberry season no less!), so I subbed blackberries. I also used a spring mix (it was on sale) for the lettuce and added some sunflower seeds for some crunch (personal preference, not necessary). The chicken came out perfectly, charred and juicy, and complimented the other flavors of the salad well. What a lovely combination! Thanks Amy!

Loved everything....but the balsamic vingerette. i felt it took away all the other wonderful ingredients in the salad and all you end up tasting is it. So i'm giving it four stars because of that. next time I make it, it will be without it and be way yummier!

Just one big flavorful party with every bite! I give this 5 stars because it's quick, tasty, healthy, and all 5 members of my family loved it! (3 of them kids, 1 a VERY picky chicken nugget/pizza lover) I made it exactly as written minus the dried cranberries, although that would be awesome to add. Just didn't have any. This will become a regular meal in our home.

Yummm! This salad was awesome - so many different tastes that blend together perfectly. We included bacon bits and croutons for a little crunch, but it isn't necessary to add anything to this. I even had it for lunch the next day - I will definitely make this again!

This salad was very quick to put together and the tastes went together very nicely. My very healthy-eating sis was impressed and my meat-loving hubby put dibs on the leftovers!! Thanks!

So many times I read other reviews for recipies on this site and they always tell you everything that they did different or tell you about the items that they changed. While those tips are usualy helpful, I looked at this recipie and decided to make it as it is stated. Wow - I am glad that I stuck to the recipie.

AMAZING salad!! I didn't have italian dressing so I just grilled the chicken with garlic powder. I loved it and so did everyone else in our family... and they're "ranch dressing" people. Thanks so much!
