We loved this salad. The nuts in this make the recipe special. I used a feta cheese since I thought it was blue cheese, but it still combined with the dressing and nuts very well. I only had some chopped nuts but they seemed to work well with this. Thanks Maito.

What a refreshing, beautiful salad. The apple, the nuts, the dressing all combined makes one winning combination. I did use some oil and mixed the dressing up in my blender which made it light, frothy, and so tender tasting.The bit of confectioners sugar really made the whole taste just wonderful. I used fresh spinach I just picked from the cold frame and oh so tasty ...Oh and the blue cheese....divine! Thanks Maito! Loved it!

I enjoyed this salad. Love blue cheese which goes great with apples and pecans. The pecans were yummy and the oil can be skipped completely in them if you are watching your waist line. This makes plenty serving 6-8 guests.

I made this for my mother tonight for dinner and basiclly scaled it down to serve one, but kept the dressing the same. Skipped the oil as suggested by Rita and it worked great. The cinnamon and cayenne mixture on the pecans was very interesting but good! My mother adored this dressing and was quite happy I didnt scale the recipe down for that! I threw in some left over broiled balsamic vinegar chicken to make this a full meal.
