I used the raspberry vinegarette recipe by jan w from this site. I omitted the chicken since I wanted a side salad for another meat dish.

As with many of these salad recipes, the combination of flavors is what makes it da bomb. The walnuts complement the cheese, the cheese complements the chicken...Well, you get the picture. The chicken strips makes this a more substantial salad, and served with a nice baguette, will make a wonderful lunch or dinner. After I eat one of these salads I feel a huge blast of good nutrition blow through my body. So much better than junk food! IMHO, a cheddar can sub for the goat cheese, if that's what you have, but the other ingredients are kinda critical to the body of the salad. I don't like to deviate too far from the original recipe. What's the point?

A delicious salad, especially with the addition of the dried cherries. I've had this with dried cranberries before, but I love the bigger punch of flavor from the dried cherries.

Delicious and easy! It's a great combination of sweet and tangy. I omitted the chicken, and I made my own simple vinaigrette with raspberry vinegar, walnut oil, Dijon mustard, and agave. I also added some feta because I didn't have enough goat cheese. Coarse black pepper really adds to this salad. This is a definite keeper!

I too love the salad similar to this at Target. This one is great and just like it when you change the dressing to poppy seed. Yummy!

I have made this salad twice now for two separate occasions and everyone complemented me on what a great salad it was.
