Excellent! A little goes a long way. -
Not sure why I didn't have a great tasting dressing after reading all the reviews, but this lacked flavor. Made just as written and I have had vinaigrettes that have tasted better and are way less in calories. Sorry, but this recipe needs some work. -
Perfect! I did leave out the scallions and parsley, but it did not suffer for that! My dijon was honey dijon, which lent a slight sweetness. I cut back the salt to 1/4 tsp, which was perfect for us! Served with recipe #243599, which was a lovely pairing. Thanks for the excellent and so simple recipe! -
oh yum! Whipped this up to go on home-smoked turkey, roasted red pepper, onion, provolone, black olive & romaine lettuce salad - it was FAB! Thankyou - we'll be keeping this! -
Just wanted to comment that this dressing was OUTSTANDING!!! I, too, added an extra clove of garlic and used canola oil instead of olive oil. I'm on a low sodium diet and replaced the salt with a salt substitute and it was still very, very good! The longer this dressing sits, the better it gets! I will DEFINITELY be making this again. Only next time, I'll double or even triple the recipe. Thanks so much for sharing this! I'm done with the bottled stuff! **UPDATE** I made this again. Only this time, I left out the oil. I replaced it with about a tablespoon of water. I had to scale back the vinegar and add a little more dijon mustard (I used Hellman's Dijonnaise)and TADA!!! I've got the tastiest fat free salad dressing that I've ever had. Homegirl, I cannot thank you enough for this recipe! You are truly a diet saver!
