Best dressing ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I absolutely love this dressing. It is great on any salad and it has quickly become the only dressing I use anymore. I love... that the ingredients are so fresh, healthy and natural- no added junk like the kind you buy in the store. I don't put any sugar in it though and it is just as good. Thanks Paula!Read more

Great!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I usually hate making salads, but this one was worth the effor. It was my first time making dressing, and I was kind of... nervous but everyone said they really liked it (and not in just a courteous to the cook kind of way).Read more

A Winner!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family loved this salad. It is simple, yet very flavorful. The dressing is the perfect mixture of sweet and tart. I did... substitute garlic powder for the crushed garlic, however, as we don't like the taste of raw garlic. I also omitted the basil from the salads for a couple of family members who don't like it. They also thought the salad was very tasty.Read more

I made this salad for some friends and they were licking the plate it was so good. One of my friends said it was better... than the salad we both love at one of our favorite restaurants.Read more
