This is one of my favorite salad dressing recipes EVER (and first mentioned here).
This is simple, somewhat healthy and has vegetables in it. It’s so good my friend dipped her bread into this dressing just to eat it (salad is apparently optional!) I adjusted it from the Smitten Kitchen recipe because it was too chunky and didn’t sit as well on salad. I’ve gotten asked for this recipe at multiple parties and hope this becomes a hit with your friends and family too!
