Instructions

For the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve (or up to a week or so).
For the salad, toss all the salad ingredients together. Add the dressing, to taste, and toss to combine or serve individual servings with the dressing alongside.

Notes

Smoked Gouda: has a very strong, distinctive, delicious flavor - if you aren't a fan, try subbing in another soft cheese like regular gouda, havarti, or monterey jack.
