Agree with some of the other reviews...a bit mustardy but we didn’t mind. I added about 1/4 cup red onion to the vinaigrette and I think shallots would have been even better. I really like the basic idea of using the vegetables to create the dressing and will continue to experiment. Next time I might add chopped olives, zucchini cubes of cheese, pepperoni,etc. overall, a new technique with a lot of possibilities!
