Delicious. Used Splenda. Mushrooms are great in this recipe, don't leave them out. I've mad the dressing many times. I use it on spinach salads with strawberries, oranges, red onion and chopped nuts. Used raspberry balsamic vinegar. Awesome.

This is a great summer salad. The only thing I would change is the amount of sugar in the dressing. I think 1/3 cup of sugar will do. Other than that, this salad is fantastic. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

This is a great salad. I've made it several times and everyone raves about it. I don't put 3/4 cup of veg. oil. I usually cut it to 1/3-1/2 cup.

Game on for this recipe. The amount of sugar was a bit much and didn't really allow any type of "spicy" taste to hang in there. Made this for myself and my wife, both adding this recipe to the once a month meal. Going to try Agave instead of sugar next time. Also, didn't have pecans, so substituted them with pine nuts. Worked out great.

This is a very tasty salad but the dressing is a bit too thick. I switched the amounts of sugar to 1/4 cup and upped the amount of balsamic vinegar to 1/2 cup and it turned out great.

pretty good; nothing spectacular, but a good strawberry/chicken salad. I used all romaine lettuce and sliced toasted almonds.

Great salad, and so easy! I prefer dried fruit in salads, so I dehydrated the strawberries, and they were a perfect complement. I also subbed agave for sugar and used fresh garlic. This would also be great with spinach, and maybe some green onions or shallot. A new favorite!

So so so good!! Loved it. I didn't think it was spicy, but I loved it. I had to sub a few things, like I did spinach instead of mixed greens, and used sugared almonds. I also added blue cheese crumbles.....the dressing rocks. I bet this would be good with blueberries or blackberries too. even nectarines.
