Second Course of "Toolie's Designer Thanksgiving Menu". Near the winery where I work, my favourite butcher shop beckons to me every weekend; run by an Italian purveyor of organic meats and other fine foods which compliment the shop, and complements the concept of healthy cooking and eating. You can imagine my delight at being able to purchase "truffled sauce". I cleaned them out. This shop also sells dried truffles. It was therefore simple to create a truffle oil by soaking dried truffles with a little truffled sauce, in extra virgin olive oil. Your recipe followed for "Truffle Dressing Herb Salad", chia, served up a wonderful salad of mixed greens. Dressing more subtle than aggressive in flavour, for my taste, it is perfect; I am so happy I saw this in my quest to create a Designer Thanksgiving Dinner. My guests were grateful, and I thank you chia, for sharing.

A very nice salad/dressing! I used parsley and cilantro for the herbs. Thanks!

Added some proscuitto and pine nuts to this and it was heaven! I skipped the sugar and used only the truffle oil. Delicious!

This is not for everyone. I do enjoy my bitter greens both in lettuces and herbs. The truffle oil is very mild. Couldn`t tell it was in the dressing! Thanks for a light and refreshing lunch!
