This is a yummy dressing!! I changed a couple things to make use of veggies I had...so I only used 1 cup of tomatoes and replaced them w/ radishes and celery and red cabbage. I think to make as written would be best with all the tomatoes, even so, it did seem a little too much dressing. Next time I will keep the dressing to the side. Live and learn! Thanks, will make this again.Reply

I loved making this salad, as it was such a easy and creative task! I have a lovely round glass bowl with a flat bottom -- perfect for this show-off salad!! Every layer showed beautifully. In fact, for a buffet table this can be multiplied by 5 or more and made in a large glass bowl, and it will look stunning. I made the dressing first, and all I added was a little salt. It tastes great. The whole salad comes together with a beautiful crispy, crunchy freshness. Maybe a layer of chopped spring onions would also be a nice addition. A simple idea but a great recipe. Thanks, Mirj!!Reply
