I'm allergic to strawberries, so I used raspberries instead. They worked great and the salad was still delicious.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used a little more seasoning.

I didn't have any walnuts on hand, so I used pecans instead. They worked great and added a nice nutty flavor to the salad.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a sweeter variety of strawberries. Next time I'll try using a tarter variety.
