I made this for two parties in one day. The first salad I had accidentally bought gorgonzola instead of blue cheese and am happy to report that it worked very well, I got requests for the recipe from people before they left. I saved half of the dressing and made the salad again that day for a dinner party, used the blue cheese called for and again, everyone loved it. I was skeptical about the ketchup, but it worked very well. I would be curious to see how this tastes with the dijon mustard substitution, I think I'll try that next time. The best compliment I got with this salad was "I think I could live off of this!" It was very easy to make and I'll be making it again for sure.

I loved this salad, but I have to give it only 4 stars because the dressing calls for way too much oil and sugar. I used only 1/4 cup and only half cup of olive oil. There was more dressing than needed, but we added it as we desired. My boyfriend and I decided this was the kind of salad we should make the next time we have guests for dinner.

I made this for a Memorial Day picnic. Substituted feta cheese for the blue cheese. Delicious. Next time I make it, I'll try splenda instead of the sugar and split the dressing recipe to 1/2.

This was a surprise! Didn't toast the nuts and changed the dressing to the following: 2 TBS sugar, 3 TBS olive oil, 2 TBS vinegar, 1 TBS ketchup, little bit of salt and pepper. I halved he rest of the recipe and used a 5 oz. bag of greens. Great!

An excellent recipe. I've used it for a number of special dinners and it always gets rave reviews. Even my most difficult-to-please critic said this was one of the best salads he's ever had!
