A great tasting salad! The walnuts, apples and cheese made a very nice combo with the rocket, and the dressing took it over the top!! Thank you for sharing a great recipe–made for 5-a-day tag game in the Photos Forum.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota and moved to Ohio in 1978. It was quite a culture shock going from the city to living next to the Amish. I spend most of my time cooking, cleaning and caring for my four kids. I have abandoned cookbooks and now cook from favorite, wilted recipe pages and the internet. I fell in love with my Italian family recipes (Scavo, Rotella, Scalzo, Micelli, Grande, Gigliotti) and my Mom’s homecooked meals.
