  1. Very nice salad. Has all our favorite ingredients. The nuts are excellent-- had them in our salad plus on our ice cream and yes, did munch on them between. LOL! Thanks for sharing, breezer.
     
  2. This salad has a nice combination of flavors, salty and sweet with a tangy from the dressing, that is topped off with spiced pecans. I made the nuts last week which were easy to make. As breesermom indicated you will munch on some each time you pass the container. This will be nice to serve for a dinner party. Don't go over board with the mustard or you'll mask the other flavors.

  3. This salad was so great. Next time I'll top with some grilled chicken to make a nice lunch. Thanks for posting. Mad efor 1,2,3 hits.
     
  4. Made this for 4, but although I cut the salad & dressing ingredient amounts in half, I made the entire amount of spiced pecans (a little just for munching later on!) & that workd out just fine! Really enjoyed this salad a lot, & it's now in my keeper file! [Made & reviewed in 1-2-3 Hit Wonders]
     
  5. A great salad! I loved the spicy pecans, used a mix of baby greens and herbs and halved the recipe. Thanks for an enjoyable salad! Made for PRMR game.
