We love going to the farmer's market on summer Saturdays to by homegrown lettuce and fresh produce for salads. I hope you'll try my special dressing, made with pureed vegetables. I've received compliments on its flavor and pretty color.

Best homemade dressing I have ever made!!

This dressing is the bomb! I was looking for something different, and came across this recipe. It's simple to make and I usually have all the ingredients. Even my son, who usually only likes creamy dressings, ate this up and asked for it to be made again. This will be going in my rotation. You can also cut down on the sugar, since this is a very sweet dressing. Love it.

Very scrumptious. Next time I will not mix in the crunchy noodles...they got soggy and made the left over for lunch a NO.
