Delicious and simple! I halved the recipe and it still made plenty for a few salads. The flavors meld beautifully together. I like it better than any store bought version I've tried. Thank you!! ~Made for Family Picks during ZWT5 for the Epicurean Queens~

A super quick and easy dressing to make that I am sure to use many times over. I look forward to trying one of the variations mentioned. Made for a fellow Queen during *ZWT 5*
