Make this tonight, you will not be sorry. I made this as per the recipe for myself and I added dried cranberries to my wife’s (I do not like cranberries). This salad is fantastic! My wife raved about it. Do not skip the raspberry vinaigrette. I do not like sweet dressing but paired with the walnuts and Gorgonzola, it is just awesome.
This is my new go-to salad! I keep the ingredients on hand because my family asks for it so often. I buy a bag of cranberry-walnut mix and keep it in my pantry just for this salad.
used blue cheese instead of gorgonzola.
Yummy yummy yummy. I love this salad.??
This salad was delicious! I loved it!
This salad was wonderful. My husband and son ate it right up. We didn’t have Raspberry dressing so we used Pomegranate dressing. We also used red delicious apples since that is what we had. I really liked the mix of flavors.
Good salad with a good flavor profile. My changes included using a cranberry, walnut, and Gorgonzola dressing from Trader Joes because it mixes with the Gorgonzola cheese and candied walnuts I used. I would also use less cheese next time. 1/2 pound of Gorgonzola cheese was a bit excessive. The cheese somewhat overpowered the other flavors.
Very tasty!! It didn’t look all that appetizing but don’t let that fool you! This salad is for those feeling for something on the sweeter side.
i would not make it again maybe it was me
I make this salad, but I use Candied Walnuts, Pears and Feta Cheese with grapes on the side. Great flavors combine for a great autumn salad!
I make this salad all the time to bring to parties. Instead of apples I use grapes that I cut in half and I do half mixed greens and half romaine for texture. It’s a winner!
I make this salad all of the time, it’s a winner! I’ve found that Lily’s balsamic vinagrette dressing works well also. Try lightly toasting the walnuts..yum!
Loved it; thanks so much.
Delicious.
Fantastic!!! And so easy to prepare! Great blend of flavors
I had a very similar salad at a good Italian restaurant and have been making it for myself ever since–I make it to take to work for lunch in a 1.5 quart container thusly: a bunch of greens, 2 T gorgonzola cheese, 1T chopped walnuts, 1 T chopped dried cranberries, 3 oz. grilled or roasted chicken, 1/2 chopped Granny Smith apple and 1 oz. Newman’s low-fat cranberry-walnut salad dressing, added just before eating and shaken well in the container–Delicious, nutritous, filling and less than 300 calories–Can’t beat it!!
Made Taste of Home’s Raspberry Vinaigrette posted on this site. Followed recipe. Excellent! My husband had 2 servings and said he almost didn’t need the main dish.
So easy and good! Very nice blend of flavors!
I was looking for a different salad to take to a family gathering. This one sounded pretty easy to make (I love recipes with not a lot of ingredients!) and it was really easy. Everyone loved it! I will definitely make it again. Thanks Candice!
Wow!! This is good and very quick to fix salad. The only suggestion I have is that I am going to make the Candied Pecans/Walnuts recipe on this site. I’ve made these last year, but, just for snacking and they were soo good. I’m betting that candying the nuts will add that little extra oomph. Make it, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks Candice.
This was my first salad with fruit and I’ll definitely make it again! The combo of the cheese, walnuts, apple, and dressing satisfied both my sweet and salt cravings. So good!
