Strawberry Cashew Salad

Oh. My.  This was good.


Strawberry Cashew Salad

When I first saw this recipe I thought of my sister.  Strawberries, candied nuts and chicken just screamed MONK.  Since I'd been wanting to take them a meal for quite some time I decided that I'd mix this up right away!  I was a little concerned about it being filling enough for a supper for the whole family...  but I think it was plenty filling.  I do know they loved it...!  The only issue Odin had with it was the "black things"  (poppy seeds).  He requested ranch on top of the original dressing.  I gagged and obliged and he ate a good portion of it.  :)

You'll notice there is quite a bit of sugar in the candied cashews and in the dressing.  I think the salad would be very good even with the cashews not candied...and the dressing can be made to taste with less sugar if you prefer.

Enjoy!  I have leftovers for lunch and couldn't be happier!!
