Great salad! I also used turkey bacon and subbed goat cheese. I added some sweet and spicy pecans to this, and it provided a nice crunchy counterpart. The flavors are balanced and all went together well. The dressing wasn't too tart for me, but if you think it would be for you, add some oil to the dressing to balance that out. Thanks for this recipe!

Yummy salad! I would add some sweetner to the dressing along with some type of nuts. I used turkey bacon and blue cheese. Thanks for the yummy salad!

Yummy. This is a nice change of pace kind of salad. I added 1/4 cup chopped walnuts and 2 Tablespoons of Splenda. Thanks so much for posting! Tagged for Potluck Tag Game

This is a very nice salad. The combination of flavors using the craisins (I used Sunmaid fruit bits) with the bacon is definitely worth mentioning. It's a wonderful mixture of taste and texture. Next time I would add just a few chopped pecans for added crunchiness and I feel it would also compliment the feta quite well. Thanks for posting. ~Bird
