This is one of my most asked for recipes and I don’t disagree its a family favorite.
Its so versatile, it can be made ahead, eaten hot, room temperature or cold, it can be topped with salmon, chicken, steak, tofu or nothing at all.
Because I have a lot of friends with new babies these days, this is one of my go to dinners to bring a friend.

I love to bake chicken breasts in place of salmon.
I also have put the sauce over flank steak for a few hours to marinate and then throw it on the grill.
Everything can be made a day ahead. Don\’t dress the salad until you are ready to serve.
