Spinach and Berry Salad with Blue Cheese Balsamic Vinaigrette
A few of my favorite things! This salad is full of texture and flavor, not to mention healthy stuff that’s good for you!
Adjust the first four ingredients to get a consistency that you prefer.
I love a good blue cheese and even sprinkle more on top.
However, you can go lighter on the blue cheese and still get the delicious blend of flavors.

Hi! I used an 9x13 baking pan. If you want thicker cookies, use an 8x8. I actually did hand-crush the corn flakes a bit. You could go either way. I liked the way the slightly larger flakes, instead of crumbs, provide a crispy texture.

This sounds like a great recipe! Just a couple of questions--How big of a baking pan did you use? And did you crush the cornflakes before spreading them over the butter? Thanks!

THANK YOU for your reply….you'll laugh, but i was SO intent about trying this recipe, i FORGOT the salt! i used crisco in the cups. Waited 5 min. after baked, & a tiny rubber scraper to go around. they came out. think one of the tricks is to wait 5 minutes, as directed to do in your instructions. i remember the last time when i used only k.a. flour (minus cornstarch) that these deflated…happened again. don't know why, but when this happens, it makes the popovers more dense & not with "nooks/crannies" like a typical popover. however, TASTE was GOOD. i have read where you put a small, sharp knife in to let the steam out after baking. i don't like to change a recipe too much before i use it. i took a picture (don't know how to send this to you) of the deflation….should have taken it first with the height, but forgot. thanks, again pat

Have you tried the Ancient Harvest Quinoa/Corn spaghetti? It is terrific in all shapes. No Tagliatelle, though.
