Fantastic and easy! I spent over and hour picking lettuce, radishes, peas, etc out of my garden; washing it all; chopping it all; boiling eggs, frying bacon, grating cheese. I get my gorgeous salad assembled and go to the fridge...there is not one single bottle of salad dressing. Once again, Kittencal saves the day. I just poured all the ingredients into an old olive jar and shook until blended. My salad is wonderful. Thanks Kittencal!

Whoa, WOW...this stuff is great! Needed this for a Chicken/Pear hero sandwich (rotisserie chicken breast served on a baguette w/ Bartlett pear slices & balsamic vinaigrette). The sandwich was very good....the Balsamic vinaigrette was great (& we didn't have time to allow it to chill as directed) I cannot wait to try this on more things. Kitten, your recipes never disappoint--thanks for another winner!

I was looking for a vinaigrette with some substance to serve over a dinner of quinoa, roasted acorn squash, other roasted veggies & feta. This was perfect. I was afraid it might be too sweet, but it wasn't. I liked that the honey thickened it up a little. I may in the future add some shallot, but other than that, I don't see any reason to veer from the original. Quick, easy and tasty, tasty, tasty!!! Thanks Kitten :)
