    This dressing was AWESOME!! Like others I've read, I wasn't sure about those ingredients, but I thought "what the heck, I'll try anything once". So glad I did. I made it for a grad party. Everyone loved it!!

    When I tasted the dressing for this salad on it's own I wasn't sure they were right--but put it all together with the salad ingredients and I think it's a great interpretation! It definitely satisfies my craving!
