This was delish! I din`t get the cloves so I added a dash of ground cloves. Maybe if chilled overnight. I made it before dinner and served i`d say 2 hour after making. This is sweet a good way to get the children to eat their salad! Thanks!! ;)

What a delicious dressing. I kept dipping my finger in it before it had even chilled properly. I served it over chopped romaine, and sprinkled with roasted sunflower seeds. Absolutely perfect. This is going to be a staple in my fridge. Thanks for posting, and thanks also to the girls in the Gardening Forum for recommending it.

Great dressing! This is a wonderfully spiced (although not hot) dressing that is full of robust flavor and couldn't be easier to make. I halved the recipe easily, and knowing that the brown sugar and vinegar had to produce good results, this exceeded my expectations. Didn't change a thing about this. Used this one crisp spinach and added a hard boiled egg, just wonderful! Thanks so much, Recipe Reader!

Loved this!!!!!! Wouldn't change a thing. We've had this twice since I made it the other night. Perfect with some crisp romaine. This reminded me somewhat of the Kraft Catalina dressing but much, much better. The garlic adds a lot of flavor as well as the melding of the other spices. Just terrific! Thanks Recipe Reader. Made for the Herb/Spice of the Month.

I made this a few days ago and have eaten it twice now. Really yummy. I think it is one of my new favorite dressings. It's slightly sweet, but not too much. I love the complex flavors of all the different spices intermingling. Gives this dressing a real depth that reminds me of my grandmother's homemade French dressing. I got 1 1/2 cups from this recipe. Most commercial dressing say a serving size is 2 tbsp (which is 1/8 of a cup). That would make 12 servings for this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, and I will definitely be making it again.
