I wanted to do a nice cool, refreshing salad, but with a sweet dressing rather than an Italian dressing. My husband doesn’t like Italian dressing so I decided to make up a homemade honey mustard dressing. The salad is just your regular cucumber, red bell pepper, green onion, red onion, cherry tomato salad with basil leaves and fresh parsley from my garden. I’ve never made this before, but transitioned from a California style spaghetti salad and added in my own ingredients. It does need to chill for a couple of hours before serving. This is a pretty big salad, so I would use huge bowl.
