Delicous salad with a beautifully flawless presentation. Both my husband and I loved it and have made it again since. **just remember to drain the corn and edamame "very well" as stated, otherwise you will have extra liquid in the bottom that takes away from the presentation...but not the taste**

Other than being quite easy to prepare and shop for there are no other positives with this recipe. I didn't change any ingredient, but followed it to a "T"...it was terrible. Probably the worst "new recipe" I have ever tried. The mustard honey combo was not appetizing, and even though I layed it on a bed of rice to help make it look more appealing, it just didn't work. I am a very forgiving critic when it comes to food. I like almost anything and LOVE the presentation of dinner as well, but this meal will never be repeated. It didn't look appetizing and oddly enough was not tasty either...sorry.

If you like black licorice then you might like this dish because that is exactly what crushed fennel seeds smell and taste like. The sauce had very little immediate taste and too strong of an after taste.

My husband made this a few months back and it was just okay ( 2 star rating), BUT then I tried it again and merely followed the advice of one of the reviewers who stated, "An Italian friend of mine who cooks told me that the proper way to make smooth Carbonara sauce is to combine the beaten eggs with the grated Parmesan, and then to pour that mixture onto the spaghetti once the spaghett has cooled slightly (so that it's still hot, but so the eggs don't cook (that was our problem last time making it dry and sticky) and the cheese melts seamlessly into the eggs and pasta)...". I followed this to a "T" and it was INCREDIBLY CREAMY!!! 5 STAR PLUS!!!!! Here is my husband's previous review (what you can expect when you don't allow the spaghetti to cool): This pasta is just a little bland and dry for my tastes, but I am largly ignorant of what Spaghetti Carbonara is supposed to taste like. That being said, our company loved the dish and said it reminded them of the food they ate while living in France which apparently tends to have a little less zing than American recipes. Maybe I'll try preparing it next time with some salmon mixed in rather than bacon.

My wife loved this recipe and said that it puts her taco salad recipe to shame. Secretly, I had to agree. This is remarkably simple to make, but you wouldn't know it from the taste.

This was a very tasty meal. No one is more of a beginner at preparing or cooking a meal than me. I followed the instructions to a T (because I am not brave enough not to) and this salmon dish turned out great.
