Very tasty and easy to modify. Meaning, I used Garlic EVOO and skipped the dry mustard because I didn't have. Goes together fast.

The dressing for this salad was very bland for our taste. I added bottled Balsamic Vinaigrette to convince my family to eat this.

I thought it needed more dressing. I would double the dressing amount next time.
