Cranberry Pecan Salad With Feta Cheese

"After having something similar in a restaurant, I just had to start making these at home. Now I'm addicted! When they are in season, I substitute fresh blueberries and/or strawberries for the dried cranberries. Also delicious!"

  1. Marg, what a nice combination of ingredients to make one delicious salad!! The ingredients I used to make the vinaigrette dressing, that I served with the salad were... 1 to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 10 tablespoons (2/3 cup) raspberry vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, plus 1/4 teaspoon each, black pepper and dried oregano. The vinaigrette dressing came from Juenessa, but I modified the ingredients somewhat. The next time I make this salad, I'm going to make it substituting fresh blueberries for the dried cranberries. I bet that would taste good with the Feta cheese and whole pecans. By the way... when making this salad, the salad greens I used were... a bag mixed with Iceberg lettuce, Romaine lettuce, carrots, and red cabbage. Marg, thank you for posting this recipe, as it was quite delish!!
     
  2. My DH says this is his idea of the "perfect salad", and I more than agree. One of the best salads I have had. I made an orange juice dressing with oil, sugar and a little cinnamon. Very tasty! Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. Sensational combination! I made this using recipe #175380 for a scrumptious luncheon salad! Thank you so much, Marg!
     
  4. What is the recipe for the orange dressing?
     
  5. Simple but pretty, and the flavor combinations work well together. I used sun-dried tomato vinaigrette, and toasted pecan halves before chopping them. Will probably make this again. Thanks!

Yet another feature change that has made the website less user friendly. It's sad to watch a fantastic site deteriorate over the years. Some of my recipes are on my blog.
