Great salad. I had to thin the dressing a little with milk otherwise followed the recipe.

Wow!!! This is simply amazing!! The dressing is so good and really makes the salad - I did add about 1/4 teaspoon of sugar to cut the tanginess a little bit. I also doubled the croutons and the dressing, and dressed each salad individually. Yummy!!
