Notes

This salad is wonderful just as the recipe is written, but can also be made with optional ingredients, if desired. I sometimes add sliced oranges, sliced pears, chopped apples, dried cranberries, crumbled blue cheese, crumbled feta cheese, croutons and/or toasted pecans.*For perfect hard boiled eggs, place eggs in a medium-size saucepan. Cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil, then cover and remove from heat. Allow to sit for 12 minutes then drain and place in a bowl of ice water to cool. After 10 minutes drain eggs. Eggs can be shelled at this point or refrigerated for later use.
