I had difficulty choosing 5 stars. Personally, I do not like the taste or the smell of olive oil BUT I knew that when I made this salad for my boyfriend. And ohmygosh, he LOVED it. This salad is so pretty and I love everything about it ((except the dressing)). Will I make this again?? Absolutely!! I have a good man here by my side and he rates you 5 stars! And again may I say that this is the prettiest looking salad I have ever made! Thank you newcook89 for making my man a happy man ;D

I made this salad last night for dinner. I loved it. The dressing is very sweet, though. Next time, I will cut back on the sugar and/or honey and I may add some pecans or almonds for a little crunch. It is a very pretty salad and would be great to serve to guests.

I made this for Recipe Group for the week of 4/23. I was forced to omit the onions for dietary reasons :( But this was still a 5 star salad. I used reduced fat feta, which was pretty terrible, so I'll use normal feta next time. I really liked the dressing, but I forgot to put the white sugar in. I forgot to even write that ingredient down, actually. The honey was sufficient for me, and I really do love sweet dressings. I would try it both ways but I can vouch that it's plenty tasty without the sugar or onions! Thank you for sharing your recipe :)

This salad was one of the best I ever had, and I plan on making it often. I followed the advice given in other reviews and I cut the honey/sugar amounts, it was sweet enough, more would be overpowering.

Recipe Group Selection: 21, April 2012 Great pick this week ladies! My DH and I really enjoyed this salad. I made it as our main course (actually only course) for dinner this week. Thought the blending of these ingredients went really well together. After reading the previous reviews, I only added 1/8 cup of sugar and 2 TB of honey, kept the rest of the dressing ingredients as listed. This was a great balance for us. Since this was the only item I fixed for dinner that night, I added leftover turkey to the salad for added protein. Definitely will be making this again.

I love this Recipe Group week's selection! I made just 1 serving for myself, so I didn't actually measure the salad ingredients. I did measure the dressing ingredients, though. The dressing is sweet yet tangy and uses ordinary ingredients found in my pantry. Definitely a keeper and something I would proudly serve company.

Made this for Recipe Group 4-26-2012 Yum this salad is a refreshing change of pace for me. Followed the recipe as written. I will reduce the amount of sugar a tad the next time I make it. The flavors go so nicely together with the sweet berries and the red onion. Great contrast. I did like the feta. Since there will be a next time I will toss in some nuts for more texture. Great Selection Recipe Group!

Made this one for the recipe group- thought it was delicious! I omitted the feta cheese, and used sweet onion in place of the red. This is also very eye appealing: colorful and beautiful! I didn't care much for the taste of the dressing, but I was overruled because the family liked it so it must just be a personal preference. Thank you very much, newcook89, for the recipe!! :)

I always put fruit and cheese in my salad, but never thought to add red onion, as well, which was a nice addition (and I added grilled chicken and pecans, too) ... but I really think it is the salad DRESSING that makes this a great salad. As with other reviewers, I did not add all of that sugar to mine either ... MAYBE a teaspoon, if that. But, I did use the full 1/4 cup of honey. My daughter loved it, as well.
