"This is a super-easy salad with knock-em-dead flavours! Great for brunch or a light meal. This makes 4 appetizer or 'salad' servings, but it can serve 2 as a main course."

This was good! When I tasted the dressing I thought it was going to be terrible, but when it all came together it was very yummy! I think it tasted better room temp the first day than cold the second. Oh, and I had a beer with this (Blue Moon)- the lemony taste from the dish got stuck in the back of my throat for about 20 minutes and made it the most delicious beer I've ever had!

fabulous salad! though, i didn't like smoked salmon as much i had hoped i would... not evelyn's fault though! the dressing (i omitted the white wine), capers, tortellini (i used whole wheat), and red onions were delish, though! i just ate around the salmon a bit... ;)tagged and made for the think pink tag game in honor of breast cancer awareness month.

I thought the dressing was a little astringent, so would next time either leave out one tablespoon of the lemon juice or omit the wine. There was plenty of dressing too, so perhaps I should have just used less? Anyway, the salad was a nice filling lunch!

Evelyn...I loved this...I made this & was hoping my boyfriend wouldn't like it that much...I was wrong!! I omitted the capers because I don't care for them but otherwise went right by the recipe.

This was excellent. Great flavor on the dressing! I actually didn't have any white wine on hand, and I made a mental note to splash a touch of white wine vinegar in, but I forgot. And it was still wonderful. I also used low fat sour cream and spinach and cheese filled tortellini since that's what I had in the pantry. One note: I used dried dill for this because it was the ONLY ingredient I didn't have, and I didn't have time to go back out to the store. The dried dill still gave the dish that nice dill flavor, BUT I know this recipe would knocked my socks off with the fresh! Thanks Evelyn, will make this again!
