I am so glad that I delayed writing my review for a day. When I made the vinaigrette last night, I felt it was a little sharp for my tastes, and I contemplated adding some honey, but I decided to wait until today, and it was a good thing I did. Tossed with baby spinach for my lunch, the flavours complimented the salad ingredients perfectly, and I can see this dressing standing up well to any assertive greens. For fun, depending on the salad ingredients, I may add some honey, but the dressing is great as it is posted.
