  1. Interesting salad with an unique blend of flavors that went well with grilled chicken. One minor problem I had with the recipe was that although the instructions (step 1) listed the oven temp at 350, in step 4 it mentioned oven temp of 325--I used 350. Balsamic vinegar should be added to the ingredients (used in step 9), but as I had some on hand that didn't create any problems for me. I also subbed 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard for the dijon musard without any problems. Sue, this is the first time I ever roasted garlic and really like learning that technique along with your very detailed and complete instructions. Thanks for sharing!
