I used feta cheese instead of blue since my DH doesn't like blue cheese. That's a major change, so I won't leave a rating . . . but I can only imagine it would be awesome with blue cheese (which I love!!). Thanks for sharing! :O)

What an excellent salad! The vinaigrette was so delicious and I really liked it warm on the cool salad greens. This will go in my favorite salads cookbook to make again and again. It's definitely company worthy. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

A superb combination of flavors. One of the best things I have gotten out of RecipeZaar is the inclination and encouragement to make my own salad dressings... because they are SO GOOD. This one especially. And the apples, blue cheese, pecans and baby lettuces I used could make it an entirely well-balanced meal on its own...especially in the summer. THANKS.
