I had some leftover blackberries to use up, so I decided to make this recipe. I didn’t have spinach so I used green leaf lettuce. I eyeballed the ingredients rather than measuring and increased the onions, using two green onions for two salads. I toasted my walnuts in a skillet with a little butter to enhance their flavor and I didn't use the optional edible flowers. For the dressing I used Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette also from this site. This salad was quite good and I would make it again. I’m not sure the tomatoes worked that well in this, although they did contribute additional color. Next time I will use strawberries instead. Other than that I wouldn’t change a thing! Nice recipe!

Great salad. I added romaine lettuce and fresh beets. The family loved it.

All the flavors worked very well together in this! I really wanted to use the edible flowers but my store didn't have them. OBVIOUSLY this recipe is JUST a salad recipe so you will need to come up with a dressing. I just used some oil and red wine vinegar. Balsamic and oil would be good too! Yum!

Delicious! No dressing was mentioned, but I did my standard.....a bit of garlic salt, a bit of olive oil and a dash of balsamic vinegar.

There was too much cheese for me, it made it too salty. I would cut it down next time. Also it needed some sort of dressing. I just added a bit of balsamic vinegar.

I used some of my blackberries from my bush. The salad was pretty good especially paired with the sweet cherry tomatoes. I didn't especially like it without a dressing though. It wasn't bad, but it does need something else.

I catered a friend's bridal shower and make this salad. I used a combination of baby spinach and romaine lettuce. I used pecans instead of walnuts, but that was a personal preference. And I did not use the edible flowers. I mixed everything together with an Italian vinagrette, and it was very good and very popular at the shower.
