To Make The Vinaigrette:

Forgot to take picture as we were too hungry.  Have been making a similar version for many years as it was a favorite in St. Louis.  Your version adds pine nuts - love it.  We boycot palm products so I sub canned white asparagus pieces.  I tweeked the dressing by adding 1/4 t. Dijon mustard and 1/4 c. orange juice and 1/4 t. Italian herb mix.  Thanks for sharing. Love your recipes.

It had really good flavor. Definitely a do again.

This is now my family’s favorite salad too! We even love it the next day when it’s a little soggy.

I haven’t made the salad yet. My crush and I are going on a picnic in a couple of days and I’m trying to find a yummy salad to make and the comments have won me over! Looking forward to making it!!

You are so right...this salad starts out as yum and the next thing you know, you're hooked and making it 3x in one week...and then buying the ingredients to do it again.

Time on my hands during quarantine is being directed toward cooking dinner for my family. Something I never had time to do. After a huge hit with gimme some oven chicken enchiladas, and many, many fails using other recipe searches, I’m sticking with gimme some oven! Always great! Thank you!

Just fabulous!!  I added kalamata olives but otherwise followed exactly   It’s a great salad

I honestly have not made any other salad since I found this. I have done slight variations such as using kale and/or spring mixed greens, topping with blue cheese crumbles and dried cranberries. The dressing NEVER changes. Thank you so much for sharing.

I made this last weekend for guests and they loved it.   I will definitely make it again!

I made this salad yesterday for dinner, it is by far the best salad that I have eaten ! I can’t wait to make it again tonight !! Thank you for the recipe it is delicious! I plan on serving this for Father’s Day will lots of grilled meats!! Thank you , judy Royal

This salad is completely irresistible! Since discovering this recipe I have made it weekly and devour it all by myself usually within a day. The proportions and flavor combination is perfect.

This recipe was absolutely amazing.  Made it last night for my son and daughter in law and she said “don’t forget about this recipe, it was amazing”.  I just made it again tonight for my husband and I.  We ate the same amount we made for the four of us.  Exceptional!  The flavors combined so very well.

Needed to use up the peppers I’d roasted and found this recipe. I also added feta crumbles. Absolutely delicious salad.

My daughter makes this all of the time. I love it and have decided to make it for my ladies night out party.

When ever we have company over, this is the salad I make.  The roasted red peppers and artichoke hearts are ingredients people don't expect.  Everyone's face lights up with satisfaction when eating this salad.  

It's our favorite as well.

delicious salad for the husband and I. seriously simple but so yummy! paired well with our pasta dish! definitely will be a go to when we have guest over! thank you

this salad is absolutely amazing, i eat it at least a few times a week and i’m so glad i found this recipe! this is the ultimate salad !!

This was SO GOOD! I can see why this is your family’s favorite salad. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Love this salad! I have used it now as a side dish at our holiday party because it looks so nice in a glass salad bowl. Made for teacher appreciation luncheon and was asked for link to your recipe. This salad gets compliments each time I make it and I continually send people your way - thank you so much!

Delicious! I had to substitute avocado oil for the olive oil, but otherwise made it exactly as written. I ate it for dinner and it was very filling, but I also think it would make a perfect meal with a piece of grilled fish on top. Thanks!

Excellent, make this all the time, especially when having guests.
