I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise-based dressings, but this one is an exception. It's light and flavorful, and it doesn't overpower the other ingredients in the salad.

The dressing is what really makes this salad. It's creamy and flavorful, with just the right amount of tang. I love to make a double batch of the dressing and use it on other salads throughout the week.
