  1. Bev REVIEW:

    Delicious!

  2. Chasing Crazy REVIEW:

    This is a classic salad that is always a hit wherever I take it. Sometimes I omit the raisins depending on who I'm serving it to, but usually I make it exactly as written.

  3. Green Goddess REVIEW:

    This is my go-to dish when invited to a barbecue. We like ours a little less sweet, so I just add a bit less sugar. Last time I made this was for an office potluck; I have several colleagues who don't eat bacon, so I left that out altogether, and it was still great. People enjoyed it so much that an email went out to the whole company asking for the recipe.

  4. kjpnut REVIEW:

    Our family has been making this recipe for years and we always get rave reviews! It is absolutely delicious! I am a vegetarian, so I substitute bacon bits for the bacon and it comes out just great.

  5. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    easy to make, delicious, a hit to guests

  6. Wanda REVIEW:

    I make this and add apple to it. Love the pecans!
