Mozzarella Strawberry Salad with Chocolate Vinaigrette image

A chocolate salad dressing? How else would you dress a salad on Valentine's Day? Don't let the unusual name and flavor combination confuse you-the salty prosciutto and mellow mozzarella are beautifully balanced with the sweet-tart chocolate balsamic vinegar dressing. -Jenni Sharp, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This salad is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not amazing either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

I would not recommend this recipe. It's a waste of time and ingredients.

This salad is way too complicated to make. I spent over an hour in the kitchen and the end result was not worth it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. The strawberries were too sour and the chocolate vinaigrette was too thick.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the chocolate vinaigrette next time.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate in savory dishes, so I omitted the chocolate vinaigrette. The salad was still delicious.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover strawberries. I always have a few extra berries at the end of the week and this is the perfect way to use them up.

I'm allergic to strawberries, so I substituted raspberries instead. It turned out just as delicious!

I love how versatile this salad is. I've made it with different types of berries and even grilled peaches. It's always a crowd-pleaser.

I was skeptical about the chocolate vinaigrette, but it was surprisingly delicious. It added a unique and sophisticated flavor to the salad.

This salad is so easy to make, yet it looks and tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant. I'll definitely be making it again.

I'm not usually a fan of fruit in salads, but this one changed my mind. The strawberries added a refreshing sweetness that perfectly complemented the savory flavors of the mozzarella and chocolate.

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of sweet strawberries, creamy mozzarella, and rich chocolate vinaigrette was absolutely divine. I highly recommend it.
