I made a quarter recipe to try this out. This was very good; the sweet/savory flavor complements greens nicely. Like many salad dressings, this benefits from preparing in advance for the flavors to meld.

Very good dressing. For my taste though I think I will cut back on the sugar. Just a bit too sweet for me.

Delightful. Perfectly sweet; perfectly tart. And I knew that for one I should have halved the recipe!! :-) But ONLY because one can't freeze salad dressings. This is a great one. I used 1/2 a cup of peanut oil, 1 cup of "normal" olive oil and 1/2 cup of quite good olive oil. And it is just wonderful.
