Finally found my dish!, Member auntb2003

I'm 47 and today for Mothers day decided to use up some strawberries. Found this Strawberry Salad recipe and sounded interesting ( and EASY). My daughter and I made it for the family get together (about 20 people) and EVERYONE LOVED IT! They raved about how good the almonds were and couldnt stop talking about how good the dressing was! Several people even said that this was a ""dish that has to come back to other family gatherings!"". Most everyone has ""their"" signeture dish which they bring to all of our gatherings- but I hadnt been able to find mine- UNTIL NOW! This was the first time I had a recipe that went over so well- so I plan to keep everyone happy and do it again.
