Terrific. I use Ken's Balsammic with Honey and it is perfect. I have made it several times; often I add some chicken and make it as a main course, but it is a great starter for guests.
Mushroom, Apple, and Goat Cheese Salad
If you receive candied or spiced nuts as a holiday gift, try them on this salad for a special touch. To splurge, use a variety of mushrooms such as shiitake, portobello, oyster, or enoki. Often grocers carry a gourmet mushroom mix. Standard white mushrooms will yield tasty results too.
Yield: Makes 6 to 8 servings
