I made the dressing along with random veggies I had in my fridge (bell pepper, onion, cooked asparagus run under cold water to cool down, and celery). I stuffed veggies into a tortilla with havarti slices and arugula lettuce mix. It was wonderful. I was skeptical of the complex dressing at first but it turned out great. Just the main dish I needed to beat this evening heat.
