Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the combination of salty prosciutto, tart apple, and sweet cherries. Some found the honey-Dijon dressing too sweet or overpowering.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to assemble, though a few wished for pre-cut ingredients to speed up preparation even more.
- Suggestions: Consider crisping the prosciutto or tearing it instead of slicing to prevent clumping. Try toasting the pepitas for extra crunch and warmth.
- Portions: Some felt the salad was on the small side, particularly noting not enough lettuce for two servings.
- Substitutions: A few preferred using mixed greens or arugula instead of romaine, and suggested trying a different dressing like raspberry vinaigrette.
Reviews from our home cooks
Take the time to toast the pepitas--a nice crunchy, warm taste. This is a really good salad! Lots of salad and you might have enough for an extra serving!
So simple and quick! The cherries were a bit too hard for my liking. They are dried, but they're just a bit too sticky. Great, refreshing meal overall!
You can stop using Granny Smith apples. I got something better (Fuji, I think) and this was a delicious salad. Easy to put together, traveled well. The separate packages of dressing made it so easy to dress the salad for my lunch at work. Nice balance of sweet and salty and crisp and chewy. If I start in on all of my issues with Granny Smith apples, I'll take it to far. To be brief: they are dry, bland and don't taste like apples or any thing else for that matter. I'll order dishes that include them in the future but I'll substitute with something that has flavor.
Fresh, refreshing, and the lettuce & apple were perfect in terms of condition. Really good salad.
I would recommend tearing the prosciutto rather than stacking and slicing. It clumps too much if you do that.
Nice fresh flavors that went well together while retaining their place in the salad. Exquisite.
Surprisingly delicious! The flavor combination was perfect. Note: We did substitute fresh mixed greens with arugula. The Romaine lettuce was old (brown).
Loved the prosciutto's salty pop with the tartness of the apple!
Very awesome flavors that I wouldn't thought about putting together
LOVEEE the combo of the cranberries, meat and sunflower seeds!!! 10/10, would make again
