I made a copy cat version of the salad seasoning so I don't feel qualified to give stars. I always make my dressing instead of bottled, but I thought I'd give this a try. I did think the seasoning added a nice flavor and disguised the bottled flavor. I added some different veggies and didn't have pepperoni, but I'd like to try it.
