A really great salad with lots of options from Cravings - All Together: Recipes to Love (page 97) by Chrissy Teigen and Adeena Sussman

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I thought this was a great recipe to make a quick and easy salad. Next time I will taste the dressing before putting it on the salad (amateur hour!), because it definitely needed a pinch or two of salt. Loved how it could be personalized, but enjoyed following it as written.

    We loved this salad. There’s a lot of room to riff on this recipe, we went with the hat we already had in the house. Pecans, romaine, and apples. I will definitely make again.

    Wow, such a great salad! We loved the candied nuts, dressing, and the Boursin cheese combination. I used dried figs, but fresh figs or another fruit would also be an excellent choice. I might try this with pecans next time instead of pistachios.

    I came here for the creamy balsamic dressing and although I loved it as written, T tasted it and felt it was "a bit.....aggressive?" So I added a quick squirt of honey and a spoonful of plain yogurt and we both really enjoyed it over a simple salad of green leaf lettuce with sliced red peppers & red onions.

    Fruit, nuts, and cheese are a classic, winning salad combination. This time I used pistachios (just roasted and salted, not the sweet-spicy recipe given here - too lazy), mandarin oranges, and Boursin with escarole and red leaf lettuce. The Balsamic dressing was very good (half recipe was plenty).

    Daughter requested this for her birthday. I used pecans, pear, garlic & fine herb goat cheese, and some living lettuce for options. Daughter and I loved this. The nuts were so good on this.
