I made this recipe for the dressing so used spinach, tomatoes, red onion, eggs, zucchini, and bacon as the salad. The dressing was very, very tart so I added a tsp of splenda to try to mellow out the flavors and that worked somewhat but still very tart. My dressing didn't get as thick as Andi's photo showed and didn't really stick to my salad. I'll play with this one as I liked the base recipe. Thanks Annacia. Made for "Let's Party"

Loved the dressing. It is the star; tart, creamy, and thick enough to coat. For the salad I used a spring mix & spinach. MNade for Diabetic Tag.

This is a very tasty, low fat salad. With the creamy rich dressing, the fat is not missed at all. I did use plain yogurt cheese in place of the sour cream. Other than that it was made as directed. DH really complimented the dressing. Made for *Partying the Diabetic Way*
