Full of flavor!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This salad is sooo easy to prepare and packed full of flavor. I made this for my husband and I for Thanksgiving to... compliment the salmon dinner we had. It was so delicious. The apples give it a nice tang, the cider vinegar and digon mustard give it a nice kick, and the roasted walnuts and olive oil bring a perfect balance. This makes a great starter or light meal in itself!Read more

Ellie is great and we don't need tons of evoo, mayo, and butter
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I like to add honey to my dressing and it give more volume, and some red onion, or carrot strips, or radish. Sometimes all... 3. A tasty sub for Granny Smith is Empire Apples from upstate NY--sweet and juicy. I also agree, we need much less of Rachel, Sandra Lee who cooks up tablescapes which I adore, and the butter queens.Read more

Boring
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Although very healthy, I thought this was quite boring. I have another recipe that adds blue cheese or gorgonzola crumbles... to it and the dressing has raw chopped shallots and honey in it. It's so much tastier! A little more fat from the blue cheese but you can use it sparingly.Read more
