    I LOVED this recipe (!...though I changed it somewhat to suit my own tastes. Firstly, I simply do not like pecorino or any Romano cheese. However, I really like mild domestic Parmesan usually getting the kind cut from a wheel covered in black wax and this was substituted for the pecorino. We have a local source for cheese here in Pittsburgh: http://www.pennmac.com and this is where I buy various cheeses almost every week. They have a selection of ~400 different cheeses and they are (almost all fresh cut to order.

    The corn was sourced from one of my local farmer?s markets and was a sweet as candy. The corn was grown by: http://www.simmonsfarm.com & I bought it the day it was picked though I didn?t make this recipe until 4 days after the corn was picked. (We made a black bean, fresh corn salsa the day it was picked.

    As far as the dressing is concerned, I used some ?over the hill? but really sweet oranges and they were fantastic. Also, I eliminated the raw onion as I ?knew? it would not suit me.

    Lastly, I used a rough chopped, very thinly sliced maple smoked ham (http://www.kretschmardeli.com/products/ham.aspx from my local grocer in lieu of the grilled chicken. Don?t get me wrong, the grilled, rubbed chicken would be fantastic and we grill 4 or 5 times per week ? 52 weeks of the year ? but it was past 9:00 PM and I wanted to use the ham as it was 3 days after being cut.

    This was last night?s supper and my wife enjoyed it as much as me.

    I ready the other comments before trying this, so I knew that the dressing was an issue. I modified the recipe to use the zest and sections from the 3 oranges, not the pith. Basically, I zested all 3 oranges, then peeled them and included all the rest in the blender. You would want to make sure the orange didn't have seeds, though. Since I'm vegetarian, I didn't include the chicken, but otherwise it was pretty good. I think next time I might use try the rub on veggies or tofu to expand and make it a meal...

    Unfortunately, I did not read the reviews until I made the vinaigrette that cannot be eaten. At that point, I stopped the recipe---can't afford to waste more time or ingredients on this for fear the rest of it is equally misguided. Surely, this is not what Michael served his guests...

    I was VERY disappointed with this recipe. I think it is one of the most un-tasty salad dressings I have ever made or tasted. I would not recommend this to anyone. Try the chicken, it looks good. I will still try again. Cheers.

    This was very refreshing and easy. I added added a lot more baby spinach and a little less corn, but I think it would be either way.

    This was way too bitter and way too thick.I took one small taste and immediately threw it down the drain. Very dissappointing.

    This salad looked so good when Michael made it, but the dressing was way too bitter and didn't work well with the arugula. Also, the spice rub needed less red pepper. Too much spice competed with the arugula. The dressing would probably be better without the whole orange pureed.
