Simply Elegant Salad With Balsamic Raspberry Vinaigrette image

I came up with this salad one day and loved it! Now I bring this salad to dinner parties and it's always a huge hit. The two different vinaigrettes mixed together are a perfect combination of sweet, tart and tangy. For dinner parties with people I don't know well I usually leave the almonds and dressing on the side in case anyone has food allergies; only once has anyone passed on the almonds and dressing. This salad is also great topped with grilled chicken to make the salad a complete dinner.

This salad was a disappointment. The dressing was bland and the salad was very boring. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought this salad was just okay. The dressing was a bit too sweet for my taste and the arugula was a bit too peppery.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. The dressing was well-made and the salad was fresh and flavorful.
