WOW! This in going in my keeper file for sure. I used 2 TBS. of lime juice, seasoned rice vinegar, and recipe#355060 for the the Italiam herbs. Do let these flavors meld for a couple of hours, even overnight, before using. This is not your ordinary Hidden Valley Ranch, this is better! Thank you for sharing, I made this for the Spring Pick A Chef 09. -
I love dressings with ingredients you toss into a jar and shake!! Sure beats all the bought stuff out there. This was great on a green salad. -
Ummm. I like the flavor of this dressing. I'm embarrassed to say that I would prefer it thicker. I do realize that this is not supposed to be thick. I had expected to like it, but it's just a bit too thin for me. Thank you for helping me define my preferences.

I live in Ontario in a small town not far from toronto. I am a semi-retired English teacher (I do substitute work). For fun, I read, go for walks, watch a little TV and play games. My favourite cookbook is The Joy of Cooking.(I have over twenty other books, but that one is a great source of basic information.
