While the intro to the recipe does say this is a thick salad dressing, I just couldn't quite like the texture. It had a good flavor and was interesting over tossed baby greens, but just not our choice for a salad dressing.

I've never made a no oil dressing before, and I'm glad I did. This was delicious on a nice spinach salad. I'll use this recipe again!
