    This was a a good blend of sweet and tart. I'm a minimalist when it comes to "dressings", so I'll probably make the "dressing" in 2/3 the amount next time. I'll be taking this in my lunch this week. Thanks for sharing! - 1/28/12

    I don't understand how you can put "all of yolks" in a separate bowl, mash them, and add other ingredients then "chop egg yolks" and sprinkle over spinach. Could the 2nd egg yolk step be a slip that really means egg whites? - 12/26/10

    No, because the egg yolk is part of the "dressing" when combined with only the mustard, vinegar, and sugar. Then, set that aside while you prepare the salad. Does that help?

    I replaced 1T of the apple cider vinegar with red wine vinegar and just a shake of stevia. Also replaced 1T of mustard with whole grain dijon. Added sliced red onion, grape tomatoes (halved), greek olives and freshly grated black pepper. Slivered almonds and freshly grated parmesan to top at end. - 4/21/13

    This was a good salad! The dressing was too sweet & thick for my liking. Next time I will decrease the Splenda & increase the Apple Cider. I added cherry tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, toasted almond slivers, avocado & shredded parmesian cheese. Thanks for sharing, will make again! - 5/16/12

    Incredible!
    I think you meant "chop egg whites and sprinkle", but otherwise this is a GREAT recipe!!!! I will make it again and again. - 9/29/11
