"Outstanding, wouldn't change a thing. First, I love the way the dressing thickened up so nicely, as so many Asian salad dressing are too runny. There's no dominant flavor, all ingredients share equally in an outstanding dressing, the sweet-hot-sour elements are just about perfect." —lutzflcat

This is the 'secret' Greek dressing recipe from the pizzeria that I work at. The recipe makes almost a gallon but can be scaled down easily. It can be used for picnics and travels very well, since it doesn't need to be refrigerated. This is the best dressing I have ever tasted, people offer to buy it constantly, but if we sold it we wouldn't be able to make enough to use in the restaurant!" —DANIELLE M.

"This dressing is a nice alternative to the raspberry vinaigrettes I've had in the past. It tastes extremely fresh and slightly sweet, with a little kick from the cayenne pepper." —Susan Pascullo

"My daughter is vegetarian so I came up with this alternative to hot bacon dressing for spinach salad. This is great if there are vegetarians at your table. I serve crumbled bacon on the side so we still get the delicious flavor of hot bacon dressing! You can substitute Dijon mustard for the honey Dijon mustard, if desired." —Applekrisp

"Slightly tangy, easy vinaigrette with fresh strawberries, poppy seeds, apple cider vinegar, and honey — great for a spinach salad." —Bren
