Author Notes
If you are like Amanda Hesser and you like salad dressings that discipline then you will probably like this salad. Be fore warned because out in farm country we take salad very seriously. In fact this set of greens is wearing black and carrying a riding crop. Take note the safe word here is "sugar". —thirschfeld
