This definitely has 'Wow' factor. the only change I made was to use just half of the cider vinegar called for, as we preferred a more olive oil dressing. I also used dried parsley (on hand). This was easy to make, and great served over baked tilapia. This would be good on chicken or anything grilled. I can't wait to grill some shrimp and baste it with this stuff. Thanks for another great recipe Kathy! Made for PRMR.
