MAPLE DIJON SALAD image

I first made this to serve at our family reunion feast. I had prepared enough to fill a large roasting pan and nothing was left, not even a nut! Everyone loved it and requested the recipe before leaving, even my big brother! (as a side note, it's now the ONLY salad dressing he'll eat, on ANY salad!)

This salad was delicious! The dressing was flavorful and the combination of flavors was perfect. I especially loved the toasted walnuts, which added a nice crunch. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.
