"Seasonal greens, sugar snap peas, fresh blueberries, dried cranberries, and cheese topped with a tangy dressing made of balsamic vinegar and a hint of sweet real maple syrup make this salad a favorite. It makes for a successful first course and to be savoured as a light lunch meal that can be put together faster than you can say "I'm hungry". How can one go wrong with this lovely salad taken from "Recipes from a very Small Island" cookbook that celebrates Maine fare."

We loved this salad. My walnuts turned out to be pecans, no idea how I could mistake this bag for walnuts, but there you are. I'll definitely make this salad again often and then use walnuts, but I have to say, pecans are not bad in it either LOL Thanks for sharing! Made for On the Road again

Excellent salad and dressing. I made this into our dinner meal by adding some grilled chicken slices. We loved the combo. Thanks!

Fabulous salad -- so many wonderful goodies and I didn't omit one of them. The only change I made was to use less olive oil than the recipe called for. Will definitely make this delicious salad again soon.

I made enough for 2 servings. I also added chopped mixed nuts and chose the goat cheese to use this time. It was a very good salad, and I loved the dressing with it!
