My father didn't care for it too much. I liked it but found the flavors did not blend very well together. Perhaps adding avocado might help? Something was needed to help the flavors compliment each other better.

Good solid recipe with potential. The good: the flavors of this salad all go well together. The strong flavor of the smoked trout needs to cranberries to lighten it up. The areas for improvement: the dressing is barely-there, with too much broth. Couldn't really taste the raspberry vinegar, which was a shame. I think the dressing in particular, and the salad overall, would be better with a little more oil. Deconstructed, this salad was great. But, it didn't quite come together, somehow.

DELICIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL. MY ONLY DISAPPOINTMENT WAS THE SMOKED TROUT. I GOT IT IN A PACKAGE AT COSTCO AND IT JUST WASN'T VERY SMOKEY SO IF YOU LIKE SMOKEY, GET YOUR FISH ELSEWHERE OR SMOKE YOUR OWN.
