Creamy Vinaigrette Dressing

Cat Berner's Note:

I can't fully claim this recipe as my own since I found the original on Allrecipes. I did tweak it just a little based on my own preferences and what ingredients I had on hand. My husband, who I fear is going to turn into a bottle of Ranch dressing, loves this dressing almost as much. I use a microplane to grate the shallot and garlic, that way the dressing is nice and creamy without the need for a blender or food processor.

This is the first dressing I ever made. I will never buy a vinaigrette again. This was so good I will be eating salad daily until this is all gone. Made for PAC Fall 2009. Thanks for sharing Cat Berner!
