Whisk all dressing ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, combine all salad ingredients, mixing well. Add the dressing gradually, stopping when you think the salad is moist enough. Reserve the remaining dressing. Toss everything until thoroughly combined. Chill the salad for at least 4 hours before serving. Stir in more dressing to taste, if you think the salad needs it. Serve cold or at room temperature. Serves 6-8.
