I am giving this recipe 5 stars but I did find that I had to add just about a teaspoon of raw honey to the dressing to make it a little less tart. But everything else went together in the most awesome way. I had fresh home grown figs and apple, plus real farmer's market feta and lettuce. I had to sub out the pecans cause I was out and just threw a few pine nuts on top instead
