We love salads and this one is no exception! Love the combination of your dressing, just different enough to make for recipe requests. Only one problem, I only made half a recipe and we were looking for more! It's a good one to be taking to those large gatherings. Thank you for sharing Marjorie's recipe, it is a winner.
