Cha-ching! I loved this - everyone loved it. Only thing I did differently is I subbed honey for the maple syrup which I always do when it's called for in any recipe and I used just a bit less brown sugar. I can't stand the flavor of maple syrup anywhere but on my pancakes. This dressing was excellent, unique and complimented the ingredients of this salad perfectly. This will be made often. Thanks Sperl25.

This was just as good as I had hoped it would be. The dressing is enough for double the salad. Don't put it on too soon as it tends to wilt the salad if not served right away. A real keeper!

My family and I love this recipe with a few simple adjustments. First, we double the amount of salad because the amount of dressing this makes is way too much for just one bag. Or we refrigerate the unused dressing a air tight container. Second, I don't use the red onion. Third, and most importantly, I just use 1/6 cup of apple cider vinegar or the flavor is overwhelming. Oh and baby greens or spring mix are the best mixes for this salad.

This was actually very good! I was afraid the blue cheese would be too strong, but the sweet dressing mellows it out some. I didn't have walnut oil so I used olive oil instead and Miracle Whip instead of plain mayo. Delicious salad. I used salad topping fried onions instead of fresh. Thanks, this was fantastic.

Great salad! I used a green onion instead of the red since that what I had. I subsituted nonfat Greek yogurt for the mayo and the dressing was wonderful. I cooked my pecans in a pan, sprinkled some sugar and poured some maple syrup to make the candied pecans. Yum!! Ate this salad two days in a row.

I didn't care much for the dressing. I thought it was overly sweet. My husband liked it though. I used the "Candy Coated Pecans" recipe from allrecipes.com for this salad. Those were good! I like the pear-blue cheese combo, but I think I will stick to my usual dijon viniagrette dressing.

AmaZing salad and incredibly easy to make. I made the Microwave Spiced Pecans on this site, which were very easy to make and used canola oil since I didn't have the walnut oil. I served it for company and it was an immediate hit!

Delicious! I didn't have walnut oil, so I used olive oil, and it was very yummy! I think the vinegar could be reduced to 1/4 cup or less though...the vinegar flavor might be a bit strong for some people.

I double everything except the dressing since I had 10 guests to feed--EVERYONE from my 6 year old daughter to the guests from South Africa and Monaco raved and asked for the recipe and for seconds. This salad was a request from my husband for his birthday dinner. I had to make the sugar pecans, and was lucky to have a dribble of maple syrup left! "BEST SALAD EVER!!" said my 16 year old son.

Better than 5 stars!!! I made this salad exactly as it's listed and it was awesome. I had a ton of dressing left over. Since there are so many great ingredients and flavors in this salad a little bit of dressing went a long way. All of the ingredients in this salad complimented each other. I will pass this recipe off to my friends and definitely make again.
