I made this tonight for dinner (well, we haven't eaten yet, but I did just take a taste of the salad). This is WONDERFUL! I would definitely serve this to company... I'm pairing it with a Crusty Cuban Bread and Cheesy Spinach Bars tonight.

I did change it slightly, as I didn't have quite everything on hand. I used Dijon Mustard with Horseradish in the dressing, and only 2 cloves of garlic (I can't believe I ran out!). Also, a vidalia onion instead of a plain yellow onion.
