: hi: Marina, very beautiful salad serving, festive. : bravo: Lovers of lettuce leaves will love it. I personally: girl_romashka: I love radicho leaves; arugula, and others too. And the filling is very good. I will definitely prepare such a (but large) plate for myself. True, instead of vinegar I will add lime juice, even very good vinegar does not accept my body.

Olesya, all mustards have so many different flavors ... Dijon - from the name of the city in which it was previously produced. It has a granular structure and many varieties, including pungency. In my salad, it is soft, not spicy.
If the salad is interesting, I will say that it has a very pleasant combination of flavors - you want to eat and eat it. Lightweight - does not cause severity. I really hope you enjoy it!

nvk,thanks for the links - helpful info!

Natasha! Thank you very much for the praise! Very nice!
I also adore arugula (it is also present here - hidden, I am nowhere without it.) For myself, I will also do without vinegar.
But I recommend preparing more caramelized nuts, so that next time (I hope it will come) the salad can be prepared instantly!
After the first tasting, I immediately made another portion - I liked it so much.Even a conservative husband, who does not recognize salads without meat, was pleasantly surprised that it can be so delicious without him.

Marin, the caramel nuts are great. I always have nuts at home. Now there will be a stock of caramelized ones.

I forgot to write that sprinkle with pepper (to taste) - this gives even more charm!

Marina, what are you doing? I'm home late today: I’ll take the children away from training for now. And the salad is already right in the mouth, the taste is felt. Thank you!!!!!

He prepares so quickly Olesya, the main thing is to caramelize the nuts.
There is a way to quickly - coat them with honey or molasses and fry them on parchment in a frying pan (on the stove). This is so that the oven for nuts alone does not heat up.
MariS
Another addition (on my own): when I prepared this salad for the second time, I additionally diced apples and mixed with feta, lettuce and nuts to combine the taste of these ingredients. You don't have to deviate from the recipe and cut the apples into slices.

Marisa, this is actually "Christmas Star"! Straight, star! The husband said that at such a pace it is possible to claim a Michelin star. Taste like this cannot be told: sweet, spicy, mustard, creamy nutty and uuuuuuuuh, how delicious! For Dijon mustard, my husband drove to the store himself. Didn't regret a bit. Thanks for the recipe and for the mood: it prepares quickly, Oles, go for it! I dared! Vvvvkusnotenischscha !!!

How glad I am that you and your husband were satisfied with the salad! Well done - both worked hard! The main thing is not in vain. My husband and I had the same emotions after tasting the salad. It's great that our tastes have converged.

Tell me, can you put Fetaksa instead of Feta cheese, or will it be different?

irinapanf, you can use any soft (pickled) goat or sheep cheese - Fetaxa is fine.
In this salad and hard goat will create its own unique taste. Experiment with your favorite cheeses!
