An easy, adaptable dish, great for "make ahead." I added 6 oz. cooked shrimp and 1 tbsp. feta cheese and served over mixed baby greens to make a whole meal of it. The dressing has a delicious flavor, which I punched up a bit by using white balsamaic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. My only reservation is that the delectable dressing flavor didn't come through very strongly in the salad itself. I'll try it again and tinker some more! barbandscooby

I quite like having this salad. The only ingredients I omit are the oil, vinegar and garlic. I love using regular mustard sauce for this instead of dry mustard.
