I haven’t made this salad for a long time. For some reason I thought making a half-recipe would be perfect, but I could barely finish half my salad. This recipe makes a lot of salad and a lot of dressing. I made a full recipe of the dressing so we’d have some leftover for weekday salads. We love this salad and it’s great for a summer night.
