I don’t like to play favorites with my wrecipes, but this sits among my top 10. I love a traditional salad with all the fixins’, but sometimes you just need something a little different. That crunch? Perfection.
This creamy dressing is also perfection. The salad comes together in a pinch and is much healthier than some of the recipes I post to my site. We could all use a little less butter and heavy cream in our lives, right?
