Reviews
One of my favorites – simply delicious!
LOVE !
Not for me
Very easy, tasty salad. I used my own garlic-based dressing since I couldn’t find sherry vinegar, but this salad simply has toasted pecans, gorgonzola, shallots and spinach. Simple but hit the spot.
My husband I really enjoyed this salad. Very flavorful and easy to make! Will definitely make this again!
Very delicious. Would highly recommend this recipe.
I added some cayenne to the pecans before roasting. Used one medium shallot and champagne instead of sherry vinegar. It went quickly and everyone loved the dressing. A very simple and delicious salad.
I really wanted to like this, but the dressing was NOT GOOD. Two shallots?! The shallots dominated the dressing to where they were all you could taste.
I was all set to not like this honestly, I really was. I was very surprised when everything was put together how much I enjoyed it. I couldn’t find sherry vinegar at my local store, so I did what another reviewer did and used half red wine vinegar and half balsamic (probably a little more balsamic than red wine. The pecans were amazing, and the gorgonzola really topped off the dish. I was going to add other veggies in, and honestly, I didn’t think it needed it.
Great salad! A keeper! Especially when you don’t have a lot of ingredients sitting around the house. Great with steak and sherried mushrooms!
