I only made the dressing and put it over a chopped salad with crumbled bacon and egg to mimic my favorite restaurant salad and it was exactly what I was looking for. The dressing was a little thick for my taste so I'll probably add some more oil or maybe some water (?) next time but I know I will be making this in large quantities and using it frequently! Thanks for a wonderful recipe that saves me $6 or $8 and a trip out to eat!
