"Darling I Fancy You" Salad
A delicious salad based on Taylor Swift's Lover album
If you haven’t been following along, I threw an 8-course Taylor Swift eras themed dinner party recently. This salad was created for the “Lover” era. It’s bright, light and has punchy garlicky-pink dressing that reflects the vibe of the album.

The dressing is a choose your own adventure. I love garlic so I put 10 cloves in. Start with 5 and add as you see fit.
Put all dressing ingredients into a blender. Blend them until it’s a smooth consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.
If it’s too sharp, add more mayo and/or honey.
Rinse all your greens. Toss the greens in the dressing.

FAQ
Q: Can the dressing be made in advance?
A: Absolutely! For our Taylor Swift party, I made our dressing 2 days in advance. It allowed it to really mellow out and flavors to blend together.
