"It was made pretty fast and tasted so good. The fruitiness of the figs goes so well together with feta and toasted walnuts. I used very ripe figs and they were great in this salad. To emphasize the fruity notes I added very little lemon juice to the vinaigrette."
-Thorsten
"I've made this salad several times now, sometimes mixing dark green lettuces and spinach. I also LOVE to add feta cheese. The combination of strawberry, pecans, THIS salad dressing and the feta cheese is amazing. I crave this salad!"
-Jamie Renee
"This smelled so good coming out of the oven. I used frozen blueberries, thawed in the fridge. Can't wait to try it with my vanilla yogurt! Will try apples next time!"

"These muffins are wonderful. They looked so beautiful and tasted so yummy. I used applesauce for the oil, trying to make them as healthy as possible. Which is good because all four of my children devoured them."

"Excellent! I've had plenty of these types of salads at showers, church potlucks, etc. I was always turned off because these salads were drenched in heavy mayo. This salad is different. The dressing is light and compliments the salad."

"Great change of pace. Really liked the use of walnuts which shine oh-so-nicely against all the other ingredients. Also like that this has less added oil then most other pesto recipes."

"I was in Mexico two weeks before I tried this recipe. After eating enough tacos, I would say this is a very authentic taco filling recipe! I put some mozzarella cheese in the center of each corn tortilla before warming up."
-SharonChen
"Delicious! Will certainly make again, and plan to try some of the suggested healthier modifications, such as applesauce in place of vegetable oil."

"These are hands down THE best best carrot muffins I have ever had. They were soft, moist and crumbly. Their flavor was right on, along with the texture."

"This smelled heavenly when it came out of the oven, and the taste did not disappoint! I served a salad with a very strong vinaigrette to go along with it. It was a great balance to the subtler flavors of the quiche. Along with a good white wine, this made a superb light summer supper."

"This is a wonderful recipe as the tart came out perfectly—it's mega-tasty. I made it as described, but I can imagine that this would be great with other vegetables, or even ham. The new and genius part for me was the ready-made pastry and the topping with mustard and gruyère"
