Something different and delicious. We have had it several times now and it's great with the fresh green beans!

I don't remember if I already posted a review, but I don't see it here, so I guess not! :-) Okay...so this was the supporting member of my delightful Spanish meal tonight. And s/he/it surely wins the trophy! DH wants me to award 10 stars--it's just so good! I didn't use a whole onion (we have an affirmed onion-hater in our midst), and only a half tomato, but otherwise, followed to a T. The dressing is out-of-this-world good! *Made for ZWT3 Spanish Adventure*

This was good. Next time I will double the ingredients for the dressing except for the oils. Thank you for posting.
