    Delicious dressing! I used a tomato instead of an avocado and my dijon was a honey dijon. I think a little bit more cheese would be good and subbing a hard boiled egg for the avocado would be nice, too.
    If you dress this salad in a bowl you had better plan on eating the whole thing. This dressing really gets thick when it cools. I spooned some dressing on and saved the rest in a little bowl so I can reheat it when I eat the leftover salad.
