I made this for a family gathering and everyone loved it! I only used half the oil, not really for the purpose of saving calories (though that is never a bad thing). It just seemed like it was getting to be too much when I was putting it in.

Made this for a family gathering last weekend and it was phenomenal! I was nervous after reading all of the directions, but it came together quickly. I too only used half of the oil the recipe called for and the dressing turned out perfect! I loved the taste of the spicy nuts paired with the strawberry jam in the dressing.

My husband was pleasantly surprised by this salad (he usually doesn’t like fruit in a salad). He thought the pecans and cheese provided a nice balance to the sweet.

This was a hit! The dressing was yummy and the pecans were great. I’m gonna have to try it with gorgonzola next time. We only had feta in the house, so that’s what I used.

I made this last night, my first recipe from Tasty Kitchen!
It was absolutely delicious and I will be making it again It also held up pretty well in a tupperware container, as I brought the leftovers for lunch.
A few little shortcuts I used -
I toasted the pecans in a fry pan, sprinkling them with chilli powder and a little sugar and stirring till toasty.
I dressed the salad with good olive oil and aged balsamic rather than the strawberry vinaigrette as I love the taste combination of strawberry and balsamic!

We made the salad and we agree–it deserves 5 mitts!! Great blend of flavors!! We also tried the marinated grilled chicken and that added an interesting and pleasing twist.

This was a really yummy salad! It made enough dressing to save for the week and drizzle over more greens. The nuts totally make the salad, so don’t skip those! All I had was crumbled gorgonzola, but once I run out I’m going to buy the wedge so I can put shavings of cheese on top as she suggests.

Took this to a potluck and it was gone by the end of the night. Used a regular vinaigrette dressing instead of the strawberry one.

This salad was wonderful. I made it for a family get together and everyone wanted the recipe. I only used half of the oil though. As I was adding it to the dressing, it just seemed like it was getting to be too much, so I stopped at about half. Everyone that has tasted commented on how good the dressing was, so I don’t think the extra was missed, and hey, less calories, right.
