I just made this salad for supper tonight, for my husband and I. If your planning on trying this recipe I suggest making it right and following the recipe, that includes making the dressing. There isn't a thing I would change to the recipe. It's a great recipe especially on a hot evening when you don't want to heat up your house more.
I didn't make the dressing because I'm in love with a white vinaigrette by Private Selection (Kroger). I did toast the pine nuts (1st time) and was surprised to find that they taste like bacon. Great salad, very filling. Keep in mind, I did 1/4 everything since I didn't need a big salad.
First I should say that I did not make the dressing, just the salad. It was great, and one that I look forward to making again. I will add some red or green onion next time, because I like a little onion in my salad. I drizzled this with a Champagne Vinaigrette that I had on hand. Yum!
This was delicious and hearty enough even for my husband. I substituted the pine nuts for sunflower seeds, because that’s what I had in the pantry. I also used shaved Parmesan rather than goat cheese, but I think most white cheeses would be delightful with this salad. I also used stone ground mustard since I didn’t have the Dijon.
An easy but satisfying salad. Good variety of ingredients without a lot of complicated prep.
Made it just as listed. Excellent and simple. We used grilled marinated chicken tenders. We will do this again!
Great salad but next time I will use a rice wine vinegar and add honey to the dressing as it was quite strong on the vinegar side.
Will definitely make this recipe again. Only changes: used feta cheese and added some thinly sliced red onion. Delicious!
Delicious.I added onions and skipped the chicken.
