Something Special Salad image

"This is a good choice when a run-of-the-mill salad isn't special enough," writes Linda Wright of Okemos, Michigan. "I can a pound of bacon at a time and keep it in the freezer. With the added convenience of shredded cheese and packaged salad greens, there isn't much preparation time required.

1/5 stars. This salad was a complete disaster. The dressing was too sour and the berries were mushy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this salad to be bland and uninspired. The dressing was also very watery.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a more savory dressing. However, the ingredients were all fresh and of high quality.

I'm not usually a fan of goat cheese, but it worked surprisingly well in this salad. The sweetness of the berries and the crunch of the walnuts balanced out the tanginess of the cheese perfectly.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover berries. I had a handful of strawberries and blueberries that were about to go bad, so I threw them into this salad and they were delicious! The goat cheese and walnuts also added a nice touch.

I made this salad for a summer picnic and it was a hit! Everyone loved the unique combination of ingredients and the dressing was spot-on. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad is a delightful burst of flavors and textures. The combination of sweet berries, tangy goat cheese, and crunchy walnuts is simply irresistible. I especially appreciate the subtle hint of mint, which adds a refreshing touch to the dish.
