Add water to dilute it to your desired consistency. Please give feedback about how to improve this to make it more like the original."

Questions & Replies

  1. Do you really mean to add 2 half-teaspoons of cornstarch? Or is that a typo? Thanks for posting this recipe -- we're going to try it this afternoon.

  1. Ok.... When Trader Joe's discontinued this dressing it sent me on a wild goose chase. I tried writing to Trader Joe's, calling EVERY location I could find in a 250 mile radius. It was just gone and I haven't enjoyed a salad since. Until now. I have found many recipes and other brands that didn't even come close. YOU NAILED IT! The only tweak I made was adding another pinch of pepper and 1/4 more gorgonzola. I am fully enjoying eating salads again so I have to thank you.
