Added to the dry mix, 1T. Splenda, 1T Oregeno, 1T dry mustard, 1t salt. After making an oil and vinigar added 1T of Tart cherry preserves, no sugar added. Actually my friend made this dressing for a Spring Greens salad with dried cherries, nuts and a variety of other things thrown in. It was delicious!!

A good dressing and went well over spinach, but is not Italian dressing. It tasted more along the lines of French dressing, mainly I think because of the paprika. I liked the celery seed on the salad, but didn't think it really matched Italian dressing either. We couldn't taste the sesame seeds. I used less oil for our tastes. There is no time listed on the recipe (it took me about 8 minutes start to finish).

I made this for a salad dressing with the vinegar and oil. I made it as written, but chose to leave out the sesame seeds as I don't normally use them in my salad dressing. I used the 1/4 cup cider vinegar and a little less then 2/3 cup oil and just skipped the water. This is very good, but our taste it needed a good deal of salt and pepper, which will be easy enough to add into the remaining mixture. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made for I recommend Tag Game.
