  1. I am giving this recipe 5 stars but I did find that I had to add just about a teaspoon of raw honey to the dressing to make it a little less tart. But everything else went together in the most awesome way. I had fresh home grown figs and apple, plus real farmer's market feta and lettuce. I had to sub out the pecans cause I was out and just threw a few pine nuts on top instead
     
  2. This was quite wonderful! Even my "I only like Ranch dressing on my salad" teenagers thought this was good. I used bleu cheese this time, but will definately be making this one again and will try it with the feta cheese next. Good salad!
     
  3. I loved this salad! Fresh, Crisp and Definitely Sensual! I wouldn't change a thing. Good Luck Chef!!!
     
  4. Great mix of ingredients. We used the optional fresh parmesan cheese instead of feta. We liked the salad but we did not care at all for the dressing. We found it too harsh and strong over the sweet ingredients that were in this salad. We added some honey to it and it seemed to balance out better. Thanks for an interesting combo of veggies/fruits and nuts. Good luck chef!
     
  5. I loved the slightly sweet salty combo of the apple/raisins and feta here. The crunch of the pecans mixed with the flavourful dressing was nice. Good luck in RSC #10!
