We made this for our Easter brunch. It was a huge hit. There was nothing left to take home.

This was fantastic. I might cut down on the sugar in the dressing a wee bit next time and I left out the mushrooms and did less onion, but it was so good that this is the first time in 5ish years of looking on here that I've bothered to write a review! EXCELLENT.
