I made this salad for our Christmas dinner and it was a hit. My husband even went back for seconds. I made the dressing a day ahead so that the flavors could blend. My family wants me to share the recipe. The dressing would be good for marinating as well.

I tried this salad at a brunch and loved it. It is pleasantly sweet, salty and satisfying. It is a perfect addition to brunch to compliment all of the egg/bread/sweet dishes. I plan to take it to a holiday brunch and will see if everyone there likes it as much as I do. I plan to use bottled dressing to save time.
