Fantastic! Didn't have any Dijon (how the heck did that happen?), so used some dill mustard I had on hand, and used white balsamic. Used this on Watermeon and Feta Salad, and was it fabulous! So easy to make, it will be made again and again. Thnx for sharing, CookinMommy.

    This dressing is so light in calories, I couldn't believe it could be so good, but it is!!! My parents were visiting and they asked for the recipe even before they knew it was so healthy. I need to find a way to make it a little thicker but other than that it is perfect! Thanks for help in my goal of providing tasty yet healthy foods!
