this was so good! I used mandarin oranges instead of the mango and didnt have any raisons so I left those out. I served it with poppy seed dressing and oh my ...this was delicious I cant wait to have this again!

Strawberries and blueberries were on sale and an ingredient search brought me to this wonderful salad. I even went to the store to buy everything, but no mangoes, maybe not in season. But they did have kiwi and so I used that instead, left the raisins out. I wasn't sure I'd like the addition of the cherry tomatoes but I really did. What a refreshing salad with a different burst of flavor from every bite. If not for the bacon it was healthy, but you could leave the bacon out and it would still be great. I used the Tangy poppy seed dressing from this site. Next time and there will be a next time I might try some feta cheese also and make a full meal of it.

This is a fun salad that adds a lot of color to the table. I took a few liberties with this like using fresh grapes instead of raisins and also adding kiwi since I had some that I needed to use. It made for one eye-popping festive salad! That said, I did not care for the red onions, bacon, or tomatoes. The flavors did not blend and made for an overall odd taste. Otherwise, it would have been perfect.

Pretty good, but there definitely is a lot going on in this salad. I left out some of the fresh fruit, since I didn't have everything, and it was still very nice and fruity. Good flavors, but I'm not convinced that creamy poppyseed dressing is best in this. I think I'd prefer a lemon poppyseed dressing (but this is an aside, as the recipe just makes the suggestion!). Thanks for the recipe!

Well, I fixed this salad for my wife to take to work. She looked at me like I was nuts putting all this stuff together. However she promised to try it. Well she just called, seems like the salad was a huge hit. Her quote " Awesome!!! 5 stars!!!!". So give it a try!

I have made this for three different parties now and have gotten nothing but compliments. I added a tiny bit of balsamic vinegar though.

SOOOO good! I brought this to a tennis match and there was none leftover. Dressing isn't needed as the fruit juices are more than sufficient.

This salad was a huge hit with my family. We didn't even need to use the poppy seed dressing, as the juices from the fruit made a delicious dressing itself! I will definitely make this again!
