really good recipe I had some leftover chicken fajita and this will be perfect for a dressing.

I was looking for a dressing for a taco salad and this one was perfect! When I first tasted it, the mustard seemed a little odd. But after mixing it with the salad, it blended perfectly with the other ingredients. I halved the recipe, used fresh salsa, and added only two tablespoons of oil. I had a lot leftover, so the next day I mixed it with sour cream for an excellent taco topping and with avocado for a super quick guacamole. We love Mexican/Southwestern food, so I know I'll be finding lots of uses for this one. Thanks!

This is yummy! The lime jice and the red wine vinegar makes it POP! I can't use 1/2 c oil in anything, but it tasted great with just 1 TB olive oil. Thank you so much!
