Notes

*My favorite dressing for this salad is this Honey-Tahini Dressing so if you’re making your own salad dressing, go with that. If you’re buying salad dressing for this, I’d use something a little bit sweet, like a Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing. Honey Mustard Dressing would also be a great choice!
