    Oh my gosh...this salad was sooooooooooo good. I used Laughing Cow Herb and Garlic soft cheese instead of the Brie and used regular sliced almonds (because that is what I had on hand).
    Enjoy!

    PEG’S NOTES:
    I wasn’t sure if we like Brie so I didn’t want to spend the money on it, so I used several wedges of “Laughing Cow Garlic and Herb soft cheese” and it was wonderful!! I also just used regular sliced almonds because I had them, but I am sure the smoked almonds would really make it tasty.
