So before I get to the dressing, the salad typically involves greens of your choice, cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, blue cheese, and green onions. You can certainly make your preferred salad but I especially like how the flavors of the dressing really tie in these ingredients. It's a dressing recipe that's easy to make and I often make a large batch and store in a couple jars in the fridge. If you're looking for a tasty way to eat more greens, just pour this dressing over the top and before you know it, you'll devour a bowl of salad in no time!
