This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would use less honey in the dressing next time.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before and it was just as good the next day.

I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, so I used crumbled blue cheese instead. It was still delicious!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken. I also added some dried cranberries for a touch of sweetness.
