"Every time I eat at CPK, I have to have this salad! I love the tangy dressing, the fresh basil, the crispness of the ingredients. My husband got their cookbook for Christmas one year and I enjoy making it at home occasionally too!"

  1. Everyone at our dinner party loved this salad. Next time I will not mix the entire dressing with the greens. There was some salad left over and by the next day it would have been mush. I made the dressing 2 days early for the flavors to meld and then let it come to room temp before tossing with the salad.

  2. I just made the dressing and it came out delicious! This is going to be my go to dressing for company. I did use an immersion blender to mix it because the whisk wasn't cutting it. I used about a cup of oil, half evoo and half canola. I also added a pinch of sugar.

  4. This is a great salad dressing. It is flavorful without being too salty or overpowering.I have not used the salad combination indicated here. I've used the dressing with a combination of cured olives, leaf lettuces, cucumbers, tomatoes, feta cheese and onion - all chopped fairly small so that every bite has a taste of everything. Great!

  5. very, very good!! My company loved it too:) I used green onions instead of the scallions and put hard-boiled eggs in, instead of the turkey! Very tasty salad, would be good with grilled chicken!

Tweaks

  1. I’ve been making this recipe for years and it is always GREAT. Tweaks are: 1) to make it healthier, use a potato peeler to shred a carrot and add that 2) sometimes I omit the beans and/or the turkey 3) I add the shallot OR the scallion but not both, I’m not crazy for onions

  3. Delicious! I substituted chicken for the turkey and used beef salami (I don't eat pork). Otherwise it was the same. Try adding a bit of ground cumin for a little surprise. Photo here: http://www.43things.com/entries/image/348738?t=e

  4. YUM! this is the best salad I have had in ages! :) I shared it with one of my friends and she loved it as well. I did leave out the basil, reason being I failed to buy it at the store (I forgot it) I also used grilled chicken breast in place of the turkey. The flavor of the dressing is just awesome! Thank you so much Pam for sharing the recipe :) its a keeper!!

  5. I always love a good restaurant salad and this one definitely is one! The dressing is so flavorful. I did use green onions instead of shallots, since mine didn't look fresh. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly. I appreciate your posting it!Roxygirl in Colo.
