Lettuce, Raisin and Walnut Salad With Creamy Raspberry Dressing image

For my birthday, several of my friends and neighbors got together and wrote down some of their favorite recipes. This one from Annette Q. sounds refreshing. Best in early summer when raspberries are in season.

This salad is okay, but I've had better. I probably won't make it again.

I would not recommend this salad. It's a waste of time and money.

This salad is not worth the effort. It's just a bunch of lettuce, raisins, and walnuts. There are much better salads out there.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I found the salad to be a bit bland. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

The dressing was too thick for my liking. I had to add some water to thin it out.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it with a different dressing next time.

I didn't have any raspberries on hand, so I used strawberries instead. The dressing was still delicious, but it had a slightly different flavor.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover lettuce and fruit. It's also a healthy and affordable dish.

I'm not a big fan of walnuts, so I used pecans instead. They were a great substitute and added a nice crunch to the salad.

This salad was easy to make and turned out great. I used a pre-made raspberry vinaigrette dressing to save time, and it was still delicious.

I was skeptical about the creamy raspberry dressing, but it was actually really good. It's tangy and sweet, and it pairs perfectly with the salad.

This salad is so refreshing and light. It's the perfect summer dish. I love the pop of sweetness from the raisins and walnuts.

I'm not usually a fan of salads, but this one changed my mind. The combination of flavors and textures was amazing. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad was a hit at my summer barbecue! The creamy raspberry dressing was the perfect complement to the sweet raisins and crunchy walnuts. I used a mix of green and red grapes instead of raisins, and it was equally delicious.
