Wow--was this good!! The salad is simple to make with few ingredients and steps but the complexity in the favors between the dressing and the salmon makes me feel as though I'm eating a five star $30 salad on my own patio in my bare feet (preferred home summer attire.

I did not have apple cider vinegar on hand, so I used champagne vinegar instead. Don't think I'd try cider vinegar given how good this dressing tasted. Oh and I used romaine since my hubby isn't crazy bout frisée--didn't feel it lost anything by the subbing. Delicious and healthy!!!

This recipe is wonderful and simple to make. You can either follow the instructions and the use all the suggested ingredients down to the last grain of salt, or you can improvise and substitute. Either way, the results will be fabulous because the general foundation/idea is perfect (...thank you, Giada. When I decided to try this recipe, I could not locate any frisee lettuce at the grocery store I normally frequent--however, I did find a substitute: wasabi arugula. The frisee is supposed to provide a sort of kick to the mouth, with "heat," to balance out the tart and sweet apple dressing. An internet resource suggested to also try endives, which I also could not locate at the local grocery store. This arugula has a hint of spiciness to it that is not too bold and does not cancel out your palate and should not block your taste buds from experiencing all the other flavors. Give it a try! But all in all, this recipe is five stars!

When I first saw Giada make this salad, I knew I could easily "paleo-ize" it for an excellent lunch. I made a somewhat different vinaigrette with blood orange and apple cider vinegar, leaving out the sugar. I used red leaf lettuce and cashews, because I had them on hand. And I added peeled grapefruit segments because I love avocado and grapefruit together. When I assembled the salad--lettuce, avocado, grapefruit, smoked salmon, cashews--and poured the dressing over it, I sprinkled the whole thing with fresh-ground black pepper for a bit of "snap." It was DELICIOUS and it's a go-to lunch for me from now on! This salad is great, and I'm sure it's even better with frisee instead of red leaf lettuce. Thanks, Giada!

This recipe was so easy but so, so delicious! Made it last night and making it again tonight, this time with applewood smoked salmon and in the dressing a bit of crushed red pepper to add some heat! But this recipe, needed no tweeks,absoulutely amazing. Thanks so much Mrs. Giada, you have some awesome recipes. And what I love about Giada is she realizes it doesn't always take 2 hours to make something stunning. So many of the chefs,go to the extreme and the food turns out just OK!!!! Its so disappointing to people who don't have all the kitchen gadgets, etc. that makes things so much easier for the chef. To get in the end,just an OK dish,probably will never make it again recipes. Thanks Giada!

The dressing is so easy and delicious. I actually use it to lightly dress cole slaw and it is so refreshing on a hot day.

I made this for my daughter to take as a cold lunch. She loved it, the dressing was so fresh. I used wild sock-eye salmon & grilled it simply w/S & P, & when it cooled, I flaked it. Put dressing & cut avocado at the bottom of the container, then the lettuce, salmon & walnuts on top. At lunch, she just had to shake up the comntainer. A good, healthy, fresh lunch!! Thanks Giada.
