Loved it! My husband doesn't usually like Spinach salad, but he had two servings of this one. I actually omitted the bacon and added a few cubes of cambozola cheese. It was a nice addition with the pear. The dressing is to die for and I will be using it for other salads more often!

WOW!! When I saw Geema's review of this salad I HAD to try it and we were not dissappointed. WE LOVED IT!!! I did use bacon and I think it's a must for an added dimension. I couldn't come up with slab bacon so I bought the thickest cut I could find. We're thinkin' this salad is getting served the next time we host our gourmet dinner club. Thanks so much for sharing.

Super yummy! Used pecans instead of cashews and they were delicious.

SIMPLY AMAZING! I found the cashews cooked quite quickly as well, only in for about 5 minutes. I also thought it was a little too heavy in dressing, so may cut back on it a bit next time. Except those minor details, the flavours were incredible - went over as one of the best!

Brought to a dinner party, and everyone loved it - the bowl was scraped clean! My first batch of cashews burned quickly in the oven. Second try just left them in for 5 min at 350, which was just right. Will definitely make again!

Delicious. I'm not a huge curry fan but I loved the combination of flavors. The whole family loved it. I added grilled chicken and homemade French bread to make it a complete meal. We love entree salads. Thanks!

An amazing salad! I've already made it 4 times in short period of time. Our family loves it. The combination of flavors is wonderful. The dressing would work well with other salads too. Only change I made was to use British "rashers" in place of thick bacon. This truly is, one of if not, the best salad I've ever eaten.

Wow!! My family raved over this great salad!! I had to substitute a few ingredients due to the lack of availability. I used cider vinegar instead of white wine and regular mustard instead of dijon, and increased the amount of honey. It was a great salad and everyone loved it! Thanks for the recipe! It will be made often!!!

You just have to try this recipe. It is Delicious! DH said it is the best, best, best salad he has ever eaten.
The curried cashews are great by themselves but are great on the salad too. Do try this GREAT recipe.

Loved this! I cut the dijon down to 2 tablespoons (personal preference), and used rice wine vinegar instead of white wine vinegar, but otherwise made as directed. I'll make the salad again for sure, and probably the curried nuts will be made on their own many times as well.

This salad was absolutely amazing. The mixture of all the flavors was soooo tantalizing and could possibly be the best salad i've had! THANK YOU for posting! You have to try this one!

I don't know where I found the recipe I use for this salad. Mine is the exact same except for the amounts of lettuce and fruit. This is delicious!!
I took this to a friend's home for dinner and put the dressing, nuts and bacon in separate containers to mix just prior to serving. I sub apple cider vinegar, since that's usually on hand. I have substituted horseradish mustard for the Dijon with good effect as well.
Think I might try adding some julienned Swiss cheese and chicken for a complete meal.
This is yummy.

I've made a number of spinach salads with pears/apples.
This one has an interesting smokey, mustardy, spicy taste. But to me the bacon plus the cashews and rather heavy dressing make it a bit heavy for my taste.
I prefer one with pomegranate, pear, and honey/basil/balsamic/evoo dressing.

I made this for a dinner party and it was an absolute WINNER!! A great combination of flavors- easy to make- you could make dressing and cashews way in advance! Wonderful blend of flavors with the bacon, the curried cashews, the Honey Vinaigrette and the PEARS!! Beautiful salad!!

A friend found this here, and served it to us. Now we can't be without the curried cashews. We adjust the salad a little according to season, but always the cashews. Thanks so much for sharing this one.

I don't have enough superlatives in my vocabulary to properly describe the deliciousness of this salad. While the individual components are wonderful by themselves, when combined on one plate and eaten together, they rise to a rating far beyond 5 measly stars. My DH and I were humming with pleasure while eating this salad, and he begged me to make it again tomorrow since I had some dressing leftover. I begrudgingly agreed (lol).
I confess to omitting the bacon and can only imagine that I am missing out on yet another layer of tantalizing tastes. Confession #2 is that two of us ate the whole serving of curried cashews on our salad! I'll definitely be make a bigger batch tomorrow so we can have a few left to munch on later.
Sugarpea, you were right...this is the BEST!
