I made this recipe as directed but I found that it needed more dressing so I doubled it. I added cheddar cheese, radishes, and grated carrot. I thought that using hard boiled eggs was a very clever way of using the contest ingredients. Thanks for posting and I apologize for the late review, I thought I had already submitted a reveiw for this recipe.

This is very good. The salad has a very fresh taste and the dressing is just right. I did add some grape tomatoes to it to add some color and some freshly grated parmesean cheese. Very good for a quick lunch.
