There is no question that this dressing is delicious!! My only qualm is that all of my green got soggy quite quickly after adding it. I will definetly use this again only go lighter on the dressing to allow my greens to stay crisp. It was so refreshing for dinner on a hot summer evening.

Even though the salad was good, I didn't like it as much as the other copycat versions I've tried. I felt the dressing was way too oily. The vegetable oil could easily be cut to only 2 Tbls. in my opinion or maybe be replaced with mayonnaise. I interpreted the "yellow mustard" to mean dry mustard, not prepared because of the amount. The flavor of the dressing was good, just too heavy and oily.
