The salad was okay, but nothing special. Before serving it I ended up adding almond slivers and some fresh basil. I preferred it that way.

Like another reviewer commented, the dressing came out thin and watery. Also, for us, it was also too vinegary. Very disappointed in this recipe.

I can only review the Creamy Chive Dressing. It was a hit! I made this to go with Fried Green Tomatoes encrusted with Panko, but we were dipping our elk steaks into it too. It is on the tart side with the vinegar, but it was wonderful. I ended up using about 1 cup of chives (I have a ton in the garden...Mmmmmm.
