This salad tasted amazing. I really loved the dressing and it was perfect for summer. My only trouble was making the sugared almond slivers. I ended up with a big burnt mess and the sugar never melted. I stirred the whole time without stopping. Any suggestions?

Everyone loved it, even the kids. I made the salad for a potluck dinner and within a short time, it was gone! I'll be sure to make a double batch for my next gathering. It is an eye-pleasing presentation and pleasantly refreshing.

I have made this salad for years and it always gets rave reviews, even from my mother, the critic. What I like best about it is you can prepare each part well in advance of serving it and store it until ready to serve. I store the torn greens in a large zip lock and use that to toss the ingredients when ready to serve.
