was actually a 3 X 3 Dinner Group ~
commenced this weekend!
"Mr. Ed" and I were asked to bring the Salad!
So~o~o. . .
While watching Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond made the best looking Salad, which I copied from Food Network. When viewing our local Food Network station, I often copy recipes and stash them away until an occasion arises for something new or different!

I adore salads such as this. So lazy to make it most of the time (my bad!) :) Menu sounds wonderful. xo
Wow, this salad sounds and looks amazing. I will be making it soon!
Perfect for a hot summer day.
Oooh...this looks so yummy, Pat! I will definitely try this one! Thanks!...hugs...Debbie
Love the maple syrup in the dressng -- I always like a "touch" of sweet in my dressings. I adore fruit and nut salads on greens -- especially in winter when all you can get are store tomatoes and croutons are so boring! I must try adding the apple and the maple syrup! Love the jar shaking method as well!
Julia might not approve, but . . .. if it works!
Looks absolutely delicious!! Yummy squared.
It sounds like a wonderful twist to a green salad! I have been putting strawberries in my lettuce salad this summer ... mmm. Yours looks great!
Oh, my, Pat! This salad sounds delicious! I can almost taste the apples and the blue cheese now! Thank you for sharing this recipe and I'm sure everyone just loved it.
