Loved this dressing! I think I could have used a little less butter to toast the walnuts.
This was delightful. Sever it at a hospitality room. They thought it was wonderful.

Whoops - meant to add that I have used blue cheese in place of the feta and it was equally as good! Also, do not skip toasting the walnuts - this is what makes this recipe so good.
I wish I could give this recipe 6 stars - it is HANDS DOWN the best salad recipe I have ever made. I have lost track of the amount of times I have been asked for the recipe.
My Christmas menu also includes this salad. It is the most requested item! I make a double batch and there is NEVER any left.
This is my husband most favorite salad. He is always asking for it. I double the dressing recipe. He can't get enough of it. Thanks for such a good recipe.
