I liked this, though it was just a tad strong for our tastes. Shallots are not something I typically use, and perhaps I used a bit too much. That said, this came together like a dream, in the blender (SURPRISE!) and was very thick and creamy. I may make it again, reducing the amt. of shallot, or substituting some sweet onion (maui or vidalia) in place of the shallot, for a less pronounced taste. I do not have a lot of experience making my own salad dressings, so I'm not sure how to adjust to my taste. I'm gonna work on that though! Thanks for sharing, Jamilah's Kitchen.Reply
