What a fantastic salad! I prepared the nuts a day in advance, and I was lucky to have any left for the salad, they are so good! I also made the dressing a day also. I used feta instead of blue cheese, served this with romaine lettuce. DH gave this "two thumbs up" we loved this liz, I can't wait to make this again, thanks for sharing such a great recipe!...Kitten:)

It really is the best ever. Makes enough dressing and nuts for many salads. The only thing I’ve done differently is crush the pecans slightly after baking them. For those people having difficulty finding the onion juice, I found it in the spice section at the grocery store. Thanks for a delicious recipe!
