One of the best salads we've ever had! I substituted one tablespoon of Splenda for the 2 tbsp of sugar to cut down the calories and carbs and we couldn't even tell the difference. Also used a mix of baby spinach and baby field greens instead of romaine. I cut back the garlic to one clove instead of two, only because we had a garlic-heavy meal last night... the dressing was fantastic and I'm looking forward to using the leftovers! Great accompaniment to our grilled pork tenderloin...yum.

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!
