37 Reviews of Spinach, Apple and Pecan Salad

From: BothFex

On Oct 31, 2002

A very nice autumnal salad. Served this last night with sausage and pumpkin pasta (#15276) for our annual pumpkin carving dinner party. All went well and I recieved compliments all around. A few changes I made to the salad: I was out of pecans so I used walnuts and as one of my dinner guests is alergic to raw apples I replaced them with pomegranate seeds- pretty and TASTEY! This is a keeper.

    If I could give this recipe more than 5 stars I would! The dressing is wonderful - sweet yet slightly tart, too, and the combination of apples, toasted pecans and spinach is terrific. I doubled the dressing ingredients (the single recipe just did not look like enough), substituted a Granny Smith apple, and used a 6 oz. package of baby spinach. Perfection! My kids gave it a thumbs up as well. We will definitely be making this one again and again.

    Wonderful salad and dressing! Only change I made was that I used walnuts because I didn't have pecans. The whole family loved it, and I have another half of a package of spinach to use to make it again tonight!!

    Sharlene, you and Junebug made me a star at a family get together. I used organic baby spinach about 12 ounces. This salad should receive more than 5 stars. I let the apples and onion marinade in the sauce. Junebug's Baked Corn Casserole #36673.

    Only change I made was using a blend of wine and white vinegar in place of the apple cider. Turned out great- everyone loced this. Served it with a gingered carrot soup and cheese lasagna. Thanks!

    WOW! If I could give this 10 stars I would! We just absolutely loved this!!! I followed the directions exactly and glazed the pecans in the skillet with sugar like you mentioned. This is definitely going in my "make it again" cookbook! Excellent!!!

    I really like this recipe! The dressing is delicious and easy to make. Instead of regular cider vinegar, I used apple cider vinegar and substituted pecans for walnuts. It turned out looking like a gourmet salad from a fancy restaurant! WONDERFUL!

    Easy and delicious. I first made it a few months ago (sorry for the delayed review) and have served it many times since! Thank you for posting this great salad!

    I served this to my husband for our second anniversary dinner. We both enjoyed it. My husband called it a do-over, meaning that he wants me to make it again. What a delicious salad. Thanks for contributing to a romantic evening.

    This is an excellent salad, but I have to confess, I altered the salad part. I used romaine (personal taste) and omitted the pecans (picky husband and son). But the dressing was outstanding! My 14 year old asked me to make it again. It's not often he'll eat all of his salad. Thanks for sharing.
