This was a big hit, a definite do-over. It made a lot of dressing. The 1/2 cup was plenty on the salad. Would considering halving next time. Used herb garlic focaccia I had on hand. I did use 2 tbsp. of prepared horseradish instead of fresh grated. Did anyone use fresh? I was wondering how that turned out as I usually do not use fresh.
