I originally obtained this recipe from Cooking Light magazine. I intended on posting it, but found it was already here. I often double the dressing recipe and keep it in the fridge. My daugher is addicted to this dressing and would probably drink it if I would let her! I often make variations on the salad - pear instead of apple, addition of blue cheese, etc. I don't care for raw mushrooms, so I usually leave them out. Grated carrot is a nice addition. I also use olive oil instead of the canola oil. Thanks for posting - this is really a great recipe!!!

I grew up in the Midwest and from a Swedish family, so I love food.
My grandmother doesn't normally measure when she cooks and I kind of picked that up from her. Most of my dishes can't be repeated due to this.
I love experimenting!!
