A wonderfully flavorful salad dressing that is so easy to prepare, and would be great on any salad of your choosing. I didn't have Kraft dressing (I had a store brand Italian salad dressing) which seemed to work fine, and I was grateful for a way to put it to good use. I absolutely had to add the garlic to the dressing, which gave it a nice little punch. I made the salad as directed, also, and ended up with a salad that I would happily have eaten for my entire meal! Made for Best of 2012 Tag Game.
