This is a wonderful example of the right ingredients and the best tasting Spring treat as you will ever have. I love the dressing, I whirled mine in the blender and it produced a frothy light dressing that stood out and enhanced the tomato, onion, and chives. I also had fresh mint, the I set perched atop and this plate of goodness was simply and peacefully gobbled up quickly. So easy and the taste is outstanding. Thanks, Engrossed!

I did not use mint or chives, as my husband would never try it, and I chopped the tomatoes and onions instead of slicing them. The dressing was phenomenal! Thank you so much for this delicious salad.
