Preparation

Step 1

Combine all the dressing ingredients and 1 to 2 tablespoons water in a blender or food processor; puree until smooth.

Place the salad blend in a large bowl and top with the remaining salad ingredients. Drizzle with the dressing.

I was really hesitant to make this dressing after some of the reviews it got, but went ahead anyway. I substituted white vinegar for the white wine vinegar, and used fat free miracle whip for the regular kind (just used what I had on hand. After following the recipe's exact measurements, I found the olive oil taste a little overwhelming so I added another Tbsp white vinegar. That made it too tart, so I added about a tsp honey. That made it perfection! So glad I found this recipe.
