Jacob's Salad
"Wonderfully flavorful salad. Recipezaar won't let me enter "cheese" after Gorgonzola.
You can add as much or as little of each ingredient as you want."

My main problem with this recipe is that celery seeds were not listed in the ingredients. I had already put the salad together and was making the dressing when I came to the step that says to add celery seed. I didn't have any on hand and our main dish was ready so I had to leave them out. That being said, DH and I both said that this had great potential but the dressing needed something. I may add a little more oil to the dressing next time as well as the celery seeds. We will adjust our rating if needed. -
Delicious salad! I used pistachios for the nuts and chopped some chives in with the greens. This was a big hit at my sister's cookout yesterday! -
Oh this is a yummy salad! Great flavors combined. I used toasted walnuts, my preference and love dried cranberries in a salad. I could tell by the ingredients this was going to be a hit! It was delicious. So simple to make, had everything on hand. Thanks for sharing, I will make this again -->Made for ZWT3. Wonderful lunch... ~V -
Interesting and delicious salad. I used walnuts because I like them with grapes and tarragon vinegar in the dressing. And WHY hasn't anybody ever told me how delicious dried cranberries are in a salad? Great salad. -

This is a delicious salad. I used white wine vinegar and doubled the ingredients for the dressing. Loved the tartness of the dressing. I didn't used celery and used the toasted pecans because I think they go so well with a salad like this. Thanks

This salad is amazing - healthy and delicious. As the amounts aren't listed I used a few romaine lettuce leaves, the amount listed of mixed greens, 1 apple chopped, about 1 cup of mixed red and green grapes (didn't bother cutting them in half though), 2 stalks celery chopped, 1/2 cups silvered almonds (didn't bother toasting them), about 1/4 cup dried cransberries, and 1/2 pound gorgonzola cubed. I also used olive oil in the dressing and dill seeds instead of celery seeds. Wonderful amazing salad the went together in under 10 minutes. Thanks for sharing this keeper which we will be having a lot this summer!
