This salad looks delicious! Can you recommend a different dressing since honey Dijon is not a favorite in our family?
Hi Kathy
Yes you can switch the dressing to any other dressing you use and like. Another dressing i love to make with very little calories would be a mixture of olive oil, salt and pepper, crush garlic, lemons and either oregano or mint.
Hi Kathy you can use any of you favorite low calorie dressing!
