    I always add chopped ham to this salad.

    This was a very good salad! It is best to let it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. I have used spicy mustard instead of the dijon.

    Excellent with grilled anything. I add a tiny pinch of cayenne and celery seed.

    I agree with wt8585, the salad does taste better after its sat and chilled for a bit. Great salad over all though!
