Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Everyone loved this salad tonight. I did take into consideration one of the other comments regarding the sugar being too much... for the pecans. In place of the sugar, I used Splenda and only used 1/2 cup. The pecans turned out great. I also used Splenda in place of the sugar for the dressing. Here, I used the same amount the recipe called for. Again, delicious. What a great summer salad!Read more

too sweet
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The pecans had a good flavor but there was way too much sugar in the recipe. I doubled the amount of pecans and still had the... sugar mixture all over. I broke the excess off the pecans after cooling and discarded it. Maybe I did something wrong? It sure was a lot of sugary goo.Read more
