This salad is excellent simple and delicous. I served it at my father's birthday dinner and it was a huge hit! The dressing is wonderful sweet from maple syrup and a good tang from vinegar. I highly reccomend this salad as an elegant, healthy side dish. One thing I would not suggest using the chicory it is very bitter, I used leafy greens or spinach, of course this is a matter of personal taste. THANKS!
