Ill ( 3 ) Forks Restaurant Salad image

This has been a quest for me since eating at the III Forks in North Dallas a few years. I tried to duplicate the dressing but failed miserably, many times. I found this version on the Texas Monthly website & it comes darn close to the original.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover grilled chicken and asparagus, and I added them to the salad. It was delicious!
