    I added some cayenne to the pecans before roasting. Used one medium shallot and champagne instead of sherry vinegar. It went quickly and everyone loved the dressing. A very simple and delicious salad.

    I really wanted to like this, but the dressing was NOT GOOD. Two shallots?! The shallots dominated the dressing to where they were all you could taste.

    I was all set to not like this honestly, I really was. I was very surprised when everything was put together how much I enjoyed it. I couldn't find sherry vinegar at my local store, so I did what another reviewer did and used half red wine vinegar and half balsamic (probably a little more balsamic than red wine. The pecans were amazing, and the gorgonzola really topped off the dish. I was going to add other veggies in, and honestly, I didn't think it needed it.

    Great salad! A keeper! Especially when you don't have a lot of ingredients sitting around the house. Great with steak and sherried mushrooms!

    This was delicious, i had my doubts at first but the vinaigrette gets better in times and the blue cheese and nuts with sugar just makes a great flavor.

    Great salad! Was a hit at Easter. Even the children asked for seconds and could they have it in their school lunch! Will make this a "go to" side.

    Great recipe-very quick, easy and delicious. I also added thinly sliced red onion and halved cherry tomatoes as well. Dressing was good too although I did add garlic.

    Couldn't find Sherry vinegar...So I used Red wine vinegar, no good. Pecans were a wonderful touch though.

    This salad was wonderful, very easy and light. I used Feta cheese and candied walnuts chopped up. My hubby loved it!
