I made the dressing tonight, with some tweaks to use what greens and herbs I had on hand, and a teaspoon of mustard, but the essentials were there. The thickness was just right, the color was beautiful, and I'll be happily making this again.

Oops! I am trying to figure out how to edit this, but the dressing also containes half of an avocado.
