This is very similar to one of my favorite salads that they serve at a local restaurant. The recipe tasted almost exactly the same except I wouldn't have added as much vegetable oil to the dressing...it tasted too much like it. Strawberries are my favorite in it and I always add chicken.

I used strawberries, raspberries and mandarin oranges in addition to the toasted pecans. Cut the sugar in half for the dressing. I thought the dressing looked funny after blending, but wow this was a great salad. Also marinated the chicken breast in a mixture of white wine vinegar, orange juice, garlic and herb seasoning blend and a little olive oil. YUM.

Don't pass this one by!!! Yum! This will be my new favorite meal to pack for lunch. I used canned pineapple because that's what I had, and it was perfect. The dressing is great - I cut the amount of oil about in half so it is not so full of fat. I have tried this dressing over a number of different salads. It's great with baby spinach, fresh pears, and feta cheese.

Good, I am doing low carb so I used 4 packets of Splenda instead of sugar and used spinach instead of bibb lettuce. I used 2 strawberries and cut them into thin slices to lower the carb count. I will make this again

Awesome recipe; this is great for those nights when you need a quick dinner without sacrificing taste. It is also a very forgiving recipe - use less sugar or oil if you prefer; I've also substituted dry roasted peanuts or almonds for the pecans and sliced mango in place of the strawberries. Delicious!

This salad is simple, with few ingredients, but varying the fruit and/or type of greens provides a lot of flexibility. I made this recipe with raspberries, and will try others. The dressing was excellent. Great fresh taste.

Wonderful! My kids loved it. I used a rotisserie chicken rather than grilling my own just because I'm lazy and pressed for time. The dressing was great. Even my kid who hates onions liked the dressing. :-)
