I took everyone's suggestion and cut the amount of dressing in half. I then just made a smaller salad using about 1/2 a cucumber, 4 radishes, and 5 mushrooms. I then just put on enough dressing to wet the salad nicely. While it was a fine side-dish, I found the dressing to be too mustardy (and I didn't even put as much as it called for) so I added more oil when mellowed the flavors, then I added a little extra sugar. Thanks for sharing, MomLuvs6! Made for ZWT6 for ZINGO for Team SSaSSy.

OK, I thought I would make this per the directions, but leaving out the mushrooms due to allergies. I should have followed the other reviewer and made MUCH less dressing, especially with 1# of mushrooms missing from the recipe. However, the salad itself was very tasty and when very well with Recipe #392907 and some rice. Thnx for posting your recipe, MomLuvs6. Made for the Voracious Vagabonds of ZWT 6.
