I thought this dressing was very nice. I have just enjoyed it on a fresh vegetable salad, and am looking forward to using it often in the future. I did use sweet red onion instead of shallots, which are difficult for me to find. I didn't change anything else. Thank you very much for expanding my dressing repertoire.

I live in Canada, and I work in the restaurant industry (not a chef!). Don't have a favorite cookbook, but I love these internet sites, (especially this one, where you can get the dietary info - that's cool). I'm pretty passionate about animals, and about my health, (regardless of what my beer and cigarette habit might say about me!). The majority of food I like to eat is vegetarian, if not, vegan. I am able to enjoy a good steak every now and again, however. As long as I don't have to cook it. (I hate cooking meat - makes such a mess...) I have recently had a month off - I took the time to backpack around Mexico by myself. Crazy? Nah. Well, maybe...
