I cut the recipe down to serve two (made the dressing to serve 4). Followed the directions and made the dressing in advance however found it was missing something. So added a tablespoon of dijon mustard and some Montreal steak seasoning. Also substituted red onions for the sweet onions. Green onions probably would have been better but I didn't have any. Thanks for sharing. Made for TYM tag
