I totally didn't look at the recipe when I "made sure I had everything". So we didn't have green onions, carrots or balsamic vinegar. I also had to sub the jam for raspberry (we don't usually have strawberry jam in the house). However, even with all the "forgottens" this was a great salad! I loved the dressing. I think I'll skip the pepper next time though

We're enjoying a number of recipes that call for a variety of cheeses, some of which we've not used much before, & I will admit that many of them add a nice (& not overpowering) flavor to salads such as this one! Was pleasantly surprised with the use of the strawberry jam here, but it worked very, very well in this great keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Went to the Market tag]
