Oh my, how good is this. I only changed the cheese. My grocer was out of Roquefort and I used gorgonzola. Supurb, that is what I say. After makeing the recipe as directed I also added crumbles after dressing my salad. To live for, not die for. Yes, yes, yes, and many thanks.

I saw the reviews/ratings on this recipe and had to try it for a girls’ only dinner! My first thought was this salad better be spectacular with so many 5 star ratings...and it was! Everyone loved it, even people that didn't like blue cheese. I followed the recipe exact, except I had to sub Gorgonzola cheese for the Roquefort, my grocery store didn't have any Roquefort.

Wonderful crowd pleaser! I looked up at the buffet spread and poof! it was ALL GONE. Quick tips inspired by the cooking style on that Semi-Homemade Cooking show: 1.) I used store-bought red-wine vinaigrette. 2.)I used store-bought candied pecans that cinnamon & sugar on them. 3.)I used blue-cheese because that's what the grocery store had. 4.)I used the "spring mix" salad in a bag. Those two shortcuts worked fantastically in this salad.

awesome salad... will make it again absolutely. I used half green onions, half red onions. used blue cheese crumbled. used store bought glazed pecans to save time. Do NOT skip out on the avocado.

Great recipe. I always get great reviews every time I make this recipe. Roquefort cheese is usually unavailable, so I use Gorgonzola cheese instead. Other than that...I follow the recipe exactly as written!

Wow I left out the mustard, avocado, and onions...and it was still FABULOUS!! Will defintely make again!

Yummy yummy. This is one of the best salads I ever had. Anybody who was fortunate enough to be aournd to sample it utterly loved it. Used almonds instead of pecans and it still turned out great.

Great combination of flavors. Used sliced red onion instead of green onions and I skipped the avocado. I also used a good quality store bought balsamic vinagrette for the dressing. Everyone loved it!

I wasn't sure about the dressing after tasting it on its own, but it works well with the other ingredients - especially the cheese. I really want more of this salad, except it's not exactly low in fat and calories. Will make again.

This salsd may be the way to a man's heart! I personally removed the avocados since I am not a fan, but the dressing combined with the nuts, pears and a mix of lettuce and arugula was wonderful. I will definitely make this again!

This salad rocks! I used a spring mix instead of leaf lettuce and omitted the avocado b/c I didn't have any. We loved it and will definitely make it again.

I give this 10 stars! This is one of the best salads I have ever eaten. I was told I could make this anytime I wanted to and I certainly will. I didn't change a thing and it was perfect. Thank you, Thank you!

If I was served this salad at an upscale restaurant I would gladly part with whatever the cost. I would also return just for this dish. I didn't change or add anything, although I used a suggestion from another reviewer to add about 1 1/2 Tbsp. water to the pecans and sugar as they cooked. It made sense that the pecans would be more evenly crusted by the sugar with this tip. I kept the crumbled roquefort separate so those who don't care for it could leave it out--but it adds an incredible flavour and texture. After enjoying a serving we were lustfully eyeing each other and the remaining salad. I have already purchased ingredients for a repeat this evening. This is one of those "shout it from the rooftops" food experiences!

This is the best salad recipe ever! I used red onion because I did not have any spring onions, however it still tasted great! I wouldn't change a thing. Great salad for the holidays!

a perfect salad! we didn't bother with the avocado or carmelizing the pecans. used bosc pears. the mustard dressing added a wonderfully sweet yet balanced flavor. this is the epitome of autumn. served with roasted butternut squash soup.

We liked the combinations of this salad a lot. The dressing was not a favorite for all of us but I liked it. I will make this again but maybe testing it out with another dressing.
