I agree with many others that the ratios are off. There is too much oil and not enough of everything else. I too added more dijon mustard, more honey, and even more vinegar. I will refrigerate this overnight and serve it tomorrow with sugar glazed pecans over romaine shreds. I will also add a little garlic. This really is not her best recipe. But Ina does teach us a lot about recipes. So, everyone should make their own adjustments. Also, it is not at all creamy. It is oily.

The recipe, as written, is far too oily. I agree with others that the ratios are off. I went back and added more honey and mustard. I didn't love it or hate it when I tasted it on my finger but on a bunch of mixed greens with thinly sliced red onion, it was fine. I don't think I'll make it again.

I have now made this recipe several times for company. Everytime I make it I find that it was a bit bland so I put more honey in to sweeten it. It's always a favorite with that minor tweak! Great to serve just over greens if your dinner is more extensive!
