I made this for a get-together (quadrupled), and people couldn't stop raving about the dressing! I reduced the olive oil to 1/4c and added in a few dashes of red wine vinegar. It was excellent. I will make this my new salad dressing; I love that its bright and healthy and there are no nasty preservatives or additives.

    I topped salad greens with this dressing to go along with our tamale pie. It was delicious with a nice sweetness. I used some Lyle's Golden Syrup (out of honey). It went especially well with black olives! Thanks Sharon, for posting. Roxygirl

    This review is basically for the dressing. It's wonderful! (I did cut the oil down to 1/4 cup.)
