Yum! This was REALLY good!!! Since I was serving a hearty main dish (baked mostaccioli) and only three people, I halved this. To my surprise, not a DROP was left! I had to fight my mom for the last bit of salad lol! When my hubs is out of town, I like to make things I've always wanted to try but know he wouldn't care for (he's SOOOOO picky haha!!!). He is away on business this week, so I'm trying out a few new recipes! Having my parents around to keep me company is just an added bonus. :) As if this isn't PERFECT as is, I made a couple of (minor) changes. I added ~ 1/2 c. of crumbled blue cheese to my salad and subbed sliced almonds for slivers (all I had). Although delicious with the cheese (what's a salad without cheese??!!??!!?), I'm sure this would have been EXCELLENT without it. As a matter of fact, I'll probably leave it out next time. NOTE: DO toast your almonds in butter as directed! It makes a HUGE (and tasty!) difference!!! If you're concerned that your almonds will be greasy, set them on a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any excess butter. Toasting on high heat will also help (to absorb the butter), but you'll need to watch VERY carefully to avoid burning / scorching. Thanks SO much for sharing your recipe, Jamie. My dad requested that I serve this AGAIN (next weekend) for his Bday dinner! :-)

There was too much vinegar for my liking.

Stunning! This is hot and sweet and addictive as crack, not that I've tried crack but this is fantastic!

This is simple and tasty. It goes well with most meals.

Will make again. I did not add the dressing to the salad all at once. I don't like salad wilted and I did want some for work the next day. Just made the dressing and put in a salad dressing bottle and added as needed. Great taste. I like that it is homemade not bottled.

Absolutely delish!! I used just a pinch of sugar and substituted almonds with cashews(had them on hand). I made this dish 3 times this week already.

Made it true to the recipe and loved it!! Got tons of compliments, thank you so much for sharing!

Very good, but quite sweet.

This is a fantastic salad!! I have made it numerous times and I always get compliments. I tried to cut down on the sugar because I started to think it was too sweet but after I began to mess with the recipe it was not as good, so I decided to just not worry and enjoy it. Thank you so much for the recipe.

Very good. I went through a spell where I was bringing this for lunch all the time and the ladies in the teacher's room had to have the recipe. I just made this a couple months ago to bring to my sister's pool party and everyone there loved it. Thank you!
