I am pleased with this very robust salad. It is tangy and mustardy, and if that is your thing (it is mine), you should try it. It was a bit too much so just after mixing everything together, but the flavors mellowed nicely with about 5 hours in the fridge. Whether it is like what is served in the restaurant in the title, I have no idea. I will, however, be making it again, and remembering the chef with fondness. BTW, I scaled the recipe for a smaller number of servings, but it seems to me that the portions according to the given serving size would be quite small. This may be natural when serving the salad as a side dish in a restaurant.
