The dressing is quite strong in my opinion but still very delicious- was a big hit.

I like the combination but I think the seasonings on the croutons were too strong. Next time I will combine this recipe with a traditional panzanella recipe that I like the croutons from and see how it turns out. Also, I substituted feta for the blue cheese and that worked well. I was a bit skeptical of combining the strawberries and orange zest with tomato and onion but I thought that worked very well.

I thought this was an incredible mix of flavors. The tangyness of the cheese and dressing mixed with the sweetness of the strawberries is out of this world. I made it with a little less croutons and serve it over a spinach salad with grilled chicken. I have made it for several occasions and everyone raves about it. The dressing alone has become one of my absolute favorites, I use it on a variety of salads, vegetables and as a marinade.
