If you’re looking for a fresh and light salad, this one’s for you! Using seasonal summer vegetables all wrapped up in a delicious sweet and tangy dressing. This salad dressing is so amazing that I also used it in the amazing Steak Salad Wraps! Goes great with Garlic Knots or Garlic Fingers on the side.
