easy and delic
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Sometimes a vary the nuts and use toasted pine nuts or pumpkin seeds. Sometimes I will vary the cheese and use goat. Any way... you put it, it's always a hit and never any left overs no matter how big the bowl. The dressing is so easy and so divine!Read more

It's versatile. Substitute pecans for walnuts or sesame seed oil for EVOO. I'm always asked for this recipe.

Great and very versatile
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Sometimes I put pears and cranberries in addition. Sometimes I add a little dijon mustard. Sometimes I add poppyseeds... and a little mayo. The maple syrup (and a drop of maple extract has so many different combinations) and I would never have thought to use it in a salad. Enjoy!!! TeriRead more
