Chopped Salad With Feta and Pine Nuts
"Chopping the lettuce gives this salad a nice texture. I always receive compliments when I serve it. From June 2002 issue of Bon Appetit. The dressing goes well over any tossed salad; chopped or not!"

What a wonderful combination of flavours! I halved the dressing as I like my salads on the dry side - still, so flavourful. Thank you! -
The dressing really takes this recipe over the top. The vegetables were chopped and placed in the salad spinner basket, washed thoroughly, spun dry and presto. The pine nuts, cheese and dressing were added and the salad served on individual plates. I will keep this recipe to use again. -
Yum, this was a delicious salad. I really liked the addition of two vinegars in the dressing. The pine nuts, feta, and dill made a great combination too. I would never have thought to put pine nuts in a salad, but it was very good. Thanks for the wonderful salad recipe! -
I cannot get enough of this salad. I love the feta mixed with the toasted pine nuts. The dressing has a extra "zip" to it with the seasonings. Roxygirl in Colo.

I love how cooking brings people together, whether it's sharing recipes or sharing a special meal. My sister and I love to talk recipes, and she is great at researching any recipe questions and hunting down recipes. My whole family enjoys cooking, so holidays are particularly fun when we're all cooking together. I teach social studies, and I incorporate historical recipes and foods into my lessons about culture. Cooking connects the past and present. I've realized how relaxing cooking is to me, so despite being very busy with teaching, I make time to cook.
