Good dressing, tangy. Letting it set overnight the other ingredients infuses with the vinegar and oil and makes an excellent dressing, very flavorful. Easy salad to make, left out the celery. Thank You. Made for ZWT~Emerald City Shakers

This was a delightful and refreshing salad. I made everything exactly as posted, except I used red leaf lettuce, red onion and grape tomatoes. I also added some salt and pepper to the salad dressing. Thanks for sharing! Made for ZWT-Hot Pink Ladies.
