This was a delicious dessert! I followed the recipe exactly as written, but next time I will use crushed cashews instead of halves and I will top with whipped cream for a nicer presentation.

When eaten right away, this salad is very good. However, the longer it sits, the less we liked it. I think the orange juice in it overpowered the other flavors. Plus, the cashews became very soft. If I make this again, I may try cutting down the amount of orange juice, or upping the amount of caramel and maple syrup.

This was a fabulous salad! The orange flavor was light and the cashews and the caramel gave this an ice cream sundae type feeling. I used crushed nuts and real maple syrup. This would be fantastic over a shortcake and topped with whipped cream! Great mix of all flavors. This is definitely more of a dessert than a salad. So delicious, THANKS!!!

Try this recipe using fresh strawberries, as directed, and you won't be disappointed. I doubled the recipe for a party, and it disappeared! If it's this tasty with out-of-season berries, I can't wait to try it again in the spring. Naturally, when you add sugar to sliced strawberries, they're going to get juicy, and the flavor of the syrup is so good that I think it might make an interesting strawberry shortcake. It would probably also taste good with sliced bananas. Oh, I also toasted the cashews - yum!

I made this for a Christmas party, and had to use frozen whole strawberries since the fresh were out of season. Although I drained the syrupy juice after they thawed, they still sat in juice. This made the caramel topping get lost, so to speak, and the taste was diluted. The topping is excellent, and gives a wonderful flavor to the berries, but I will wait until summer to serve it again so I won't have juices to contend with.
