This has got to be one of the best salads I have ever made...I found some apple/pear stilton cheese that I used instead of the swiss, fabulous, fancy salad....

Pretty indeed - the sweet dressing works perfectly with the salty cashews! I used reduced fat swiss cheese and splenda, both subs worked out great. I served on a combo of fresh mixed greens and we truly enjoyed this salad. I also used olive oil in place of vegetable to make the dressing. Made for My 3-Chefs 2008.
