This is my go-to salad recipe for summer parties. It's always a hit! The combination of flavors and textures is perfect. I love the sweet and savory flavors of the dressing. And the hazelnuts and bacon bits add a nice crunch.

I'm a big fan of this salad! It's so light and refreshing, and the dressing is to die for. I usually add some extra bacon bits because I love the smoky flavor.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the hazelnuts from this recipe. It was still very good! The dressing was very flavorful and the bacon bits added a nice smoky flavor.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or steak. I usually add some grilled chicken or steak to this salad and it makes it a complete meal.

This salad is a great make-ahead salad. I made it the night before and it was just as good the next day. The flavors had time to meld together and the salad was even more delicious.

I'm on a diet, so I made a few changes to this recipe. I used low-fat dressing and I omitted the bacon bits. The salad was still very good! It was light and refreshing, and it helped me stay on track with my diet.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the bacon bits from this recipe. It was still very good! The hazelnuts added a nice crunchy texture and the dressing was very flavorful. I will definitely be making this salad again, without the bacon bits.

I'm not a fan of hazelnuts, so I substituted walnuts in this recipe. It turned out great! The walnuts added a nice crunch and flavor to the salad. I will definitely be making this salad again, with walnuts.
