I only made the viniagrette since my friend brought the salad. Very tasty. I made no alterations. I thought it might be sweet -- but it wasn't. Nice and tart. A keeper.

I made this for Thanksgiving dinner and it was heavenly. The vinaigrette is delicious and would work well with many different salads. This one I will use over and over.

Review of dressing only... Great dressing! It does taste extremely tart on its own, but tones down a lot when paired with the right salad. No additional sugar necessary! I made a baby green salad with gorgonzola, craisins, walnuts, red onion, and chicken. On a side note, this does thicken considerably in the fridge - use within a few hours of making, or add some water to thin.

Excited to try a new salad/dressing, I made the cranberry vinaigrette exactly as written. Cranberries did not completely smooth in the food processor and my family did not like the taste of the vinaigrette. One person said the dressing looked like red horseradish on the salad.

This was really good...I needed a new salad to make because I was sick of the same old thing. I served it at dinner when we were entertaining friends. I used feta instead of blue cheese and craisins instead of cranberries. Delish! I am making it again tonight. It went great with steak and a potato dish. YUM!

I really liked this recipe. I always make recipes exactly as they are on the website first and then adjust them as necessary, so as not to skew my vote. After I made the dressing I found the flavour of dijon so overpowering that I ended up adding more oil, water and vinegar. I also tossed in some sugar and that seemed to make it better. I loved all the flavours together in the salad. The only thing I changed was goat cheese for the blue cheese since I don't care for blue. Thanks for the recipe!

I loved this salad (my husband would have only given it a 3 or 4, but he likes VERY strong flavors!) I used dried cranberries instead of fresh since that was what I had on hand and put extra on top before serving it; also, used gorgonzola instead of blue cheese (what I had). Very tasty and not too strong.

Good basic recipe. It's better with lots of other vegetables, though.

Wonderful recipe, received well by all at dinner party. Spiced it up by adding crumbled bacon!

This salad is the most requested salad at my house. I used pecans instead of almonds and feta instead of blue cheese. These are just personal preferences of mine. I also made parmesan baskets and filled the salad in the baskets. Not only is it great for presentation but you could eat the basket along with the salad. It was delicious!

This was a very yummy salad! I had to modify the recipe a bit, but not too much. Served wtih pork chop, apple & stuffing casserole, herbed crescent rolls and pumpkin pie for dessert (a very nice "fall" dinner). I changed just a couple of things. One reason for the change was due to the fact that I couldn't find fresh cranberries at the store (not available). I substituted dried cranberries (i.e. Craisins) instead, added a chopped (unpeeled) red delicious apple & purchased a European blend salad mix (the dark, leafy colors looked really nice against the deep red cranberries & apple). I also added a tad bit of Splenda (to taste) to the dressing per other's suggestions as it was too tart without it. My mother's suggestion to serve a cranberry salad with dinner was brilliant! Thanks!

love it! I add cranberry sauce instead of water, fabulous!!!

I made this recipe for 40 ladies today. We didn't like the dressing. We used Paul Newman bottled dressing instead. I also switched the cheese to shredded provolone. It was delicious. Debbie G, Greer, SC

This is one of my favorite salads from All Recipes!!!! Everyone who eats this salad always wants the recipe. I also add sugar to the dressing and use Craisins. You will certainly impress your guests with this salad!!!11 Enjoy, it's wonderful!!!

This is an excellent salad, but more importantly, the dressing is amazing and will work with so many other ingredients. I usually keep cranberries in my freezer so it's easy to throw all ingredients in a cup and use my hand blender to mix everything up. Goat cheese tastes great with the dressing and spinach as well. I usually use a little less oil and splenda to sweeten.

I am a personal chef for 4 college football players. I was told one of them did not care much for salads. They love this one. He went back for 2nds. They loved the combination of blue cheese, walnuts, cranberries with the tartness of the vinegar and mustard...Definetly a keeper...thanks

The best salad ever!!! Based on other reviews, I used Craisins and added 2 tsp sugar. My husband wants me to make this at least once a week. Every time we go out to eat and order a salad, we are reminded that nothing compares to this dressing.
