    I think if I made this again I may try it with the rice wine vinegar and maybe cut back on the quantity a bit. I did not use the lemon juice, but instead used the white wine vinegar and just like the reviewers who commented on the lemon juice, I definitely found it a bit too vinegary. I made it a few hours in advance, and I think that really helped for the basil flavor to infuse throughout the dressing (which I LOVED. The shaved carrot and cucumber made for a nice presentation. Overall, a tasty salad that maybe needs a few tweaks here and there but is a good staple mixed salad. Thanks, Giada. :

    This dressing was awesome, it's the perfect summer dressing. What ever you use it on it makes it very fresh. I too use the rice wine vinegar for a more milder taste. I've always done my carrots and cucumbers with the peeler it gives a completely different texture to the salad and helps absorb the dressing better.

    I made this with Giada's Champagne Risotto and it was very tasty. My husband and I both liked the dressing. I used rice wine vinegar instead of the lemon juice.

    Thanks to Giada, I never buy bottled dressings anymore! And this dressing is my favorite! I love it on green salad, and I tossed it with redskin potatoes and green onions for potato salad. Got raves at a BBQ!

    I found it way too strong in lemon flavor. Other than that, it was a pretty salad. I would either use less lemon or use the white wine vinegar. Also, it was a bit too much dressing for this amount of greens, so be careful and hold some dressing back while you are mixing it.
