Fantastic!!! I made this to go along with our steak and baked potato tonight. I thought about making half the recipe, but with the citrus and vinegar combination, I was sure I would like this and I was right!! I used the ingredients I had on hand, which were red and iceberg lettuces, carrots, green onion and celery. I tasted the dressing right after making it and liked it, so once it sits for awhile, before dinner, I can only imagine how nice it will taste. I plan to add some shredded cheese when serving as well. Thanks Cooks4_6 for sharing the recipe. Made for New Tag Game.
