I thought this was delicious.  I normally make all of my salad dressings and have never made one with berries in it.  Brilliant idea.  I added more sugar and a little honey as it needed more sweetness because the berries were tart.  I substituted feta for the gorgonzola as I had it on hand.  I also used glazed pecans as I already had those.  My dinner guests loved it and I am planning on making it for Thanksgiving.  Great salad to add to my rotation.  Thanks for sharing.

My guests loved this salad!! I followed the recipe to a T and it was delicious! I was a little scared about using the Gorgonzola cheese, but it really did made the dish. (It's an acquired taste) I'll definitely be making this again!!

This was sooooo good. I made it with grapes, then apples, and I prefer the grapes. I also tried it with both pecans and smoked almonds, and the smoked almonds really took it over the top. But excellent as written, too.
