If I were to make this again, I would use significantly less vinegar as the dressing was much too tangy for my taste (and I didn’t add the lemon juice). I added twice as much mayonnaise as indicated in an effort to counteract the vinegar but the dressing was still too tangy.

Really good on a simple green salad. My husband loved it. Used sharp cheddar and balsamic vinegar. Dressing was very thick. The balsamic was good, but somewhat overpowered the other flavors and made the dressing an odd taupe color which wasn't very attractive. I'll try red wine vinegar next time for that reason. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This was delicious! I didn't make it exactly but plan to in the future; this time I was trying to use up some feta so used that in place of the cheddar and (apple cider) vinegar in place of the lemon juice. Otherwise followed 1/4 the recipe (though I reduced the salt to a pinch because of the feta) and it was awesome on some mixed greens. I'm looking forward to trying it again with the cheddar and lemon! Thanks for posting!
