    This is such a unique salad and the ingredients really compliment each other. We love fruit in our salads and so the raisins were definitely included. The dressing is definitely different from most dressings -- we really enjoyed the chili sauce in the dressing. Definitely a repeat at our house. :

    Hood River Salad, A green salad that at first sounds strange, or did to me, but I was surprised the first time I tasted it over 10 years ago. Since then, every time I’ve served it I’ve been asked for the recipe. All of the ingredients meld very well, surprisingly!, This is such a unique salad and the ingredients really compliment each other. We love fruit in our salads and so the raisins were definitely included. The dressing is definitely different from most dressings — we really enjoyed the chili sauce in the dressing. Definitely a repeat at our house. : , Great Salald. . . just wish I’d had some rasins . . . took SusieQuisie’s lead and used tomatoes. Love the dressing!
