  1. Easy, tasty, and endless possibilities. I made both the poppy seed version for a green salad and one with cumin, cider vingear, and extra garlic as a dressing for a chickpea salad.
     
  2. Really loved this tasty dressing! I used olive oil and lemon juice, and prepared the herb variation with parsley and thyme. Thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for Variety Is The Spice Of Life 2013
     
  3. So easy to make and so tasty. Made two variations, one with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and fresh herbs, using basil and oregano. The other one was with olive oil, lemon juice and extra garlic. Both were delicious. This recipe is very versatile and I love the idea of different combinations. Thanks for posting. Made for Variety is the Spice of Life, Spring 2013.
     
  4. Made for Variety is the Spice of Life 2013 and we really enjoyed this. I made the herb dressing using olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, thyme, garlic chives, about 1/2 teaspoon of sugar (DH likes a little sweetness) and about 1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese. Wonderful. Thank you for posting the recipe.
