  1. Tasty leeks! I only added 3 tbs of oil, so the dressing was less runny and more concentrated.
     
  2. Great side-dish that could so easily grab centre-stage :) and would certainly complement many other dishes from meat dishes to pasta! I used regular-sized leeks, halved lengthways, then halved - again lengthways. Delicious dressing! My only additions were some fresh thyme and slivered almonds in step 8 which satisfied my need for some textural variation. Thank you for sharing this yummy recipe. Made for Gimme 5!
     
  3. The dressing is great! This comes together quickly, and is really good. I also made this for only one leek, and it turned out great. I made this for 123 Hits Tag!
     
  4. I loved this recipe! It has all the flavor component that I love. The dressing was over the top. Since I did not have white wine vinegar I subbed champagne vinegar. This will make a great starter. Thank you Sydney Mike for posting this recipe. Delicious!
     
  5. Yum! The dressing was so good with the leeks. I scaled the recipe down for 1 large leek and totally enjoyed it! Thanks Mike!
