This is simply fabulous! It may be my favorite salad dressing of all time, seriously. I made it as written except I only used 1/4 cup of oil and 1/4 cup of water, rather than 3/4 cup of oil. We had it over a salad of baby spinach, avocado, red onion, cucumber, cherries, and grilled chicken. Yum! My partner said it was the best salad we've had all year--and we eat a LOT of salads, so that's saying something! Thanks for posting! I'm already thinking of other fruit and herb combinations to try!

I live in south eastern Louisiana where we have the best food in the world! I've always loved to cook ever since I was a little girl and my grandmothers, Nannie and Maw Maw T, were very influential to me. I enjoy making dishes from scratch and using old fashioned recipes - it's always worth the effort. My husband & I love to barbecue several times a week since we love to be outdoors. I love to entertain friends and family on weekends.
