Five stars for the terrific salad dressing. Made to recipe except subbed mixed baby greens for arugula and maytag blue for stilton, because that's what we had on hand. Served with CLs roasted pumpkin & squash soup -- a great Thanksgiving lunch, easy to throw together while we're finishing the big supper prep!

Wonderful fall salad! I used mixed greens as a time saver and added pomegranate seeds - didn't have a dried apricot, so used dried mango -- super, super yummy salad! Guests enjoyed as well. Dressing was super tasty. I may add some grilled chicken and have for dinner tonight.

I used spinach instead of the lettuce and endive because it was what I had on hand, and it was delicious! Definitely a keeper!

I made this as a side salad without the prosciutto and using just a spring mix from the package. It was really great!

Excellent. I used pears instead of apples. Will definitely make again.
