Excellent dressing Kari!! The sundried tomatoes really intensifies the tomato taste and complements the ginger,garlic and balsamic (my favourite) vinegar, without overpowering. We used a nice mix of romaine, redleaf and curly cabbage. This will certainly be added to my hard copy, thanks for sharing.

This was an interesting blend & not bad at all. I think that I would prefer it as a veggie dip as opposed to a salad dressing. To me it was a little thick for a dressing (or maybe I did something wrong), but that doesn't have anything to do with the flavor. Just a personal preference. I just love munching on raw veggies and a good dip makes them even better.

This dressing may be the best one I've ever had. We used a couple of cloves of garlic that were pickled instead of fresh (it tends to give my DM indegestion fresh), and also added a little of the garlic "juice" from the jar. It was so great. The texture was perfect. We added a little honey because we overdid it on the vinegar. It was still perfect! It's definitely a recipe we'll make often. My only recommendation is that you use the absolute best tomato you can find. Thanks so much! (oh, and I agree with the other reviewers that it makes more than 4 servings, but I promise you it won't go to waste!)
