I got this recipe from my church’s 100th anniversary cookbook and it has been a favorite everywhere I have taken it. As an added bonus the dressing is good for just about any kind of salad. Also, it makes a great Christmas salad because of the red and green colors.
Carrie’s Note: I use Apple Cider Vinegar in this because I like the flavor much better, but balsamic is very tasty as well! I also leave out the almonds because nuts in my salad is against the rules 🙂 You can also add a grilled chicken breast and make this a meal!
