My Husband really enjoyed this salad, and he's not crazy about "bunny food" as he puts it. Very flavorful dressing without a lot of ingredients - nice consistency. Would use this dressing on other salads.

Everyone enjoys this. I also make extra dressing to use for other salads and sandwich spread.
