I am NOT an anchovy fan! Whenever I order my nicoise salad, I always ask for it without the little fishies. I was so happy to find that in this recipe the anchovy paste is OPTIONAL! I had put all the ingredients into the food processor without the half and half, and found that it was the perfect consistency (I like thick dressings), so I left out the 1/2 & 1/2 altogether. I put together a very nice composed salad with the ingredients listed in the recipe, and also added a sliced hard-boiled egg. I "draped" the dressing over the top and had a very classy lunch. This salad traveled very well from home to office in a Tupperware, and by the time I was ready to eat the dressing had insinuated itself throughout. Geema, I love this new take on salad dressings, thanks so much for posting.

This was an excellent salad dressing!~ I used mayonnaise, skipped the anchovy paste as I did not have any and used heavy whipping cream in place of the half and half as that is what I had. It was wonderful. I served it on lettuce with hard boiled eggs, steamed green beans and tomatoes. I used the exytra dressing the next day for a vege dip. Yummy. Thanks for posting.

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges. As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic. <img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried. But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb. What a complete turn around it was to pass up all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat! <img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p>
<p> The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain. I thank God that I am so much better today after more than two years recovery, with total mobility and just some minor pain in my arms and hands. Cooking and communicating here was not really on my priority list. But, I am back in action and ready to cook, take photos, and enjoy this wonderful community of friends.<img title=Laughing src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /></p>
