Connie, This is such a great salad, thanks so much for sharing! I found some arugula had popped back up in the garden so this morning I searched for a new salad recipe. And am I glad I did! I used the Stonewall Kitchens brand of roasted garlic and sweet onion jam. I was out of Dijon but really did not miss it as the jam holds it all together. Next time I'll be sure to add it, though because it probably adds another taste dimension. Delicious, can't wait to think of other uses for this dressing. This salad with the blue cheese and toasted pecans and slightly sweet dressing with the peppery arugula is wonderful! We're having it tonight with some Parmesan crusted Turkey cutlets, and baked fennel in Vermouth.
