This recipe i haven't made in years. Thanks for reminding me to make. It was from a restaurant in Minnesota called the Brandyberry.the secret was to get all items cold separately and put together right before serving, otherwise it got weepy. Original had broccoli, not carrots.original also just used a head of lettuce, lettuce chopped in larger pieces. Seems to me mine also had some cream in it.

I hadn't had this salad in years and decided to make it for friends who had never had it. So glad to find the recipe. My friends loved the salad and wanted the recipe. To lower the fat just a bit I used Miracle Whip light salad dressing and only about 6 or 7 strips of bacon. Also added a little broccoli for added color. Fantastic salad. Certainly won't wait years to have it again!

I have used a similar recipe for years and everyone asks for it for the holidays. I double the lettuce and use mixed greens,add broccoli,young small peas,celery,cauliflower and water chestnuts (the more crunch the better). Also, I have used cubed chicken and made it as a dinner salad. This recipe is only limited by your imagination.

UNBELIEVABLE!!! My man-friend said this was THE BEST salad he's ever had! he actually wanted to have his ice cream as his appetizer and finish off with the salad...so easy and just perfect for the homemade spaghetti with Italian sausage and garlic bread. I'm glad I purchased extra parmesan so we can have this again later in the week!

yummy! I used greek yogurt instead of the mayo to cut the fat and added a little lemon juice salt and pepper.

This is truly an AMAZING Salad!!! I had never had anything so tasty in the salad category for some time... and the flavor was incredible with the recipe only changed by the elimination of cauliflower and the addition of diced fresh tomato. Increditble!!! And my guests loved it as well... No leftovers on this one!!!

Really good! I used miracle whip instead of mayonnaise. Will probably cut the dressing recipe in half next time, I added it to individual servings & had alot left.

This salad is deliciously sweet and salty. However, the next time I make this I will reduce the amount of mayonnaise by 1/3 or even 1/2, as I felt it was a little excessive (and I am not a calorie counter). Of course you could also add more spring mix and veggies to compensate for the abundance of dressing! Overall this a really tasty salad and one I'm sure to make again.
