Petersons Corners Patricks Ruby Red Salad Dressing (Copycat)

We have a small restaurant here in our area that serves less than superb food at extravagant prices. Yet they have a salad dressing there that is good enough to serve at a 5 star Fine Dining place. I have finally developed a copy cat of this dressing that is pretty close to what they have. Make this a day ahead and whisk it up again prior to serving. This makes 3 pints; I keep two and give one away to one of my friends. The two pints never lasts that long around here...so you may find that you will want to keep all three.
