This salad was a lot of work to make, and it wasn't worth it in the end. The flavors just didn't come together.

I had a hard time finding some of the ingredients for this salad. I ended up using a different type of nut and fruit.

This salad was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less honey in the dressing.
