Five stars for the terrific salad dressing. Made to recipe except subbed mixed baby greens for arugula and maytag blue for stilton, because that's what we had on hand. Served with CLs roasted pumpkin & squash soup -- a great Thanksgiving lunch, easy to throw together while we're finishing the big supper prep!
