Made this salad last year for Christmas dinner. Nuts took some time, but were really, really good. I might try to make the nuts on there own in the future.

i made this salad as part of a birthday dinner for my husband and it turned out amazing. he loved it, and i have to say the pecans were not as much work as they sound like (though enough so that this salad will most likely remain a birthday/holiday option, not for everyday. i would recommend getting as mild a blue cheese as possible, as you want a lot of it for that salty tang, but not so much so that any of the stronger varieties are just a bit too much (i made this mistake, though my husband claims that he loved the strong blue cheese, so who knows. it was amazing, and the recipe made for two very large salads that were very filling, so probably best to stick to the yield 4 that it says at the top.

This went over big at my husband's 50th. I highly recommend you take the time to make the glazed walnuts.

I've made this many times for dinners and to bring to gatherings and everyone always raves! To make it easier I substitute one bag of pre-washed salad spinach and a bag of spring mix for the greens and it comes out great.

This is hands down the best salad I've ever made. Although the salad is good without the caramelized pecans, I do not recommend leaving them out as other reviewers have done. They really are what makes this salad so wonderful.

I did not think I liked blue cheese, butom my goodness! This was great and the pecans are luscious! I love Wolfgang Puck he is a great chef and a master at that! Great recipe.

This is a nice change from the usual salads. Even though I did not include the Spiced Caramelized Pecans, it still was a wonderful salad. I definately would make this for guests, and in that case, would use the pecans.

I made this salad at Thanksgiving last year and everyone LOVED it!

Even people who claim to hate blue cheese loved the salad and the whole group devoured the salad in 10 minutes...

I've made this salad several times in the past month to rave reviews. Last week a frequent guest said it was the best salad he'd ever had.
