Heavenly Salad image

This is just what our family thinks of when we eat this recipe. This is a recipe that my mother, Ruth made when I was a child and has been one of my own children's favorites as well. This recipe gives me special memories of all the wonderful food my mother cooked when I was a child as well as today when we visit her home. I normally add extra sugar and red food coloring to make the dessert light pink. You can add sugar as you desire for a sweeter taste if you prefer.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The dressing was too runny, and the flavors didn't seem to blend well together.

This salad is simply divine! The flavors and textures are perfectly balanced, and the dressing is to die for. I highly recommend this recipe.

I thought this salad was okay. The dressing was a little too tangy for my taste, and I didn't love the combination of fruit and nuts. However, my husband really enjoyed it, so it's all a matter of personal preference.

This salad was a great way to use up some leftover fruit and nuts. It's a really light and refreshing salad, perfect for a summer lunch or dinner.

This salad was a hit at my dinner party! Everyone raved about the unique combination of flavors and textures. I especially loved the contrast between the sweetness of the fruit and the tanginess of the dressing. This is definitely a recipe that I'll
