I knew this recipe would be good when I prepared to make it, but I didn't realize it would be SCRUMPTIOUS! The Dijon mustard is absolutely essential, and gives this salad that je ne sais quoi that will keep people guessing. It was so delightful to eat!
We paired this salad with zucchini lentil fritters that called for a lemony yogurt dipping sauce (Very simple: 3/4 cup whole milk yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 2 Tbsp lemon juice). We still had salad and yogurt sauce leftover after the fritters were eaten, so we tossed the yogurt into our second helping of salad. BOOM! Whole new level! We enjoyed it like a dessert!
