Ok I am going to give it a try. I admit I was skeptical of the combination..then I thought to myself WHY??? If she says it is terrific it MUST be! I have never commented, but I use many of your recipes and people always rave about every single one. Especially the white chocolate cinnamon toast pretzels and the chocolate chip cookie dough pie. I have taken both of those goodies to many events/activities and get rave reviews. SO.. I will get this salad made ASAP and maybe it will become a favorite too! Thanks for all your helpful, yummy recipes!
