Did You Know?
An Italian ingredient, balsamic vinegar is made from white Trebbiano grape juice. This vinegar's dark color and pungent flavor develops while it ages in wooden barrels. Balsamic vinegar is fat free and imparts an intense, sweet flavor to food. Use it to jazz up low-fat recipes.

Delicious
What a tasty salad!!! The strawberries went well with the spinach...we used crumbled blue cheese b/c I never tried gorgonzola and I'm kind of picky about cheese. We also left out the walnuts. I know this is something that will be made again and again!!!

Yum
Strawberries are in season and when you have so much of them, i want to use them for more than desserts. This is a very tasty and a good combination of tastes, textures and colors. Unfortunately, i used can chicken and did not have apple juice so i made my own sweet dressing which was very good. I will try it just the way it was written next time.

delicious!
I didn't have the the chicken on hand so i just had the fruit and veggies, and I had blue cheese instead of gorgonzola - SO GOOD! Especially the dressing, I will continue to make this.

My husband and I loved this salad! It was very easy to make and tasted great. I used fat free feta cheese as I couldn't find the garganzola. I'm not a big nut fan so I omitted them. Didn't miss 'em.
