This little salad has a bold flavor. I loved the cinnamon in it. I cut back on the olive oil a bit because I'm trying to cut calories where I can. A great healthy salad made for ZWT4 by a jefe de la Cocina.

An easy and terrific salad that really is enhanced by the addition of the walnuts - which I also garnished the salad with! I added the Cayenne pepper for the extra kick and we both loved it. I made about a third of this reicpe as there were only the two of us - a wonderful BRIGHT salad for a dull day! Thanks Marra! FT

Yum! This salad was so quick to prepare and very yummy. I made two versions, first version was exactly as written but garnish the salad with walnuts for Hubby and I. The second version was without walnuts and cayenne pepper for Little Miss (DD). Everyone enjoyed the flavours. Thank you MarraMamba
