I'm not sure if this is the recipe I used (there are over 600 of this). I made the recipe and added craisins (dried cranberries) instead of raisins because my husband doesn't like raisins. I thought it was too sweet, even though I cut down on the sugar. Also did not add pecans, but used sunflower seeds. It turned out well. I had been craving this salad for a long time! The biggest change I would make is to cut back on the sugar.
