Refreshing salad dressing. Was worried it would be too oily like other reviews said but I can say that the ratio was just superb. I used red wine vinegar and I also halved the recipe and there was enough for 4 servings. Will make again!

    Awesome recipe. So worth the extra effort vs. store bought. We halved the recipe and we found it was still enough for 4 servings. Refridgerated the rest for our next meal. Update; I keep coming back to this recipe and thoroughly enjoy it each & every time. Thanks for sharing, Darlene.

    Excellent dressing! I used red wine vinegar and added 1/4 t cayenne pepper to add a little zing. We really loved this and it is a lot cheaper than buying off the shelf. Thanks Darlene.

    Really good recipe. I substituted a packet of sugar substitute for the sugar and used red wine vinegar. Also added an extra clove of garlic to ward off any vampires. Yum!
