This salad is so good! I've been making it for years and it's always a crowd pleaser. The dressing is tangy and sweet, and the cranberries add a nice tartness. I highly recommend this recipe.

I love this salad, it is so refreshing and the flavors go together so well. I even grow my own salad greens to make it extra special. I highly recommend it.
