Preparation

Step 1

SERVES 8 | ACTIVE TIME 30 Min | TOTAL TIME 30 Minutes

In the bowl of a blender, combine dressing ingredients and blend until smooth. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

In a large salad bowl, layer salad ingredients in order beginning with
lettuce. Pour salad dressing over salad and toss to combine.

Serve and enjoy!

If you prefer dressing to be yellow in color (like the original) add
yellow food coloring. I prefer it natural so I left it out.
