I have been wanting to try this salad for weeks and finally the timing was right. This is a wonderful, fresh tasting salad. I used gruyere cheese and shaved it onto the salad with my vegetable peeler. The flavors in the dressing blend and balance perfectly.*Delicious*. DS kept coming into the kitchen swiping my sliced veggies and dipping them into the dressing. I had to shoo him out so we would have enough for our salads. I plated each salad separately and served small individual bowls of dressing on each plate. I knew this would be a wonderful recipe coming from you twissis :) Thanks for sharing, we enjoyed this.

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
