Absolutely wonderful. I used glazed walnuts and dried thyme because I had no fresh one, but I'll sure make this again often when my thyme is back in life :) Thanks for sharing this great recipe!<br/>Made for PAC Spring 2012.

What a great combination! I used a white onion in place of red and cut the oil down to 1/2 cup, but that is all I changed. The dressing was great and a perfect match for the salad. Thanx for posting this. I enjoyed this very much.
