The dressing is the star of this salad. It's sweet, tangy, and creamy.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled quail. It's also a nice light and healthy meal.

I was skeptical about the quail, but it was surprisingly delicious. The marinade really tenderized it and the grilling gave it a nice smoky flavor.

This grilled quail salad was a delightful surprise! The honey-Dijon dressing was the perfect complement to the tender quail and crisp salad greens.
