“I came across this Greek-style recipe many years ago. When I changed a couple of ingredients, I knew I had a tasty and good-for-you meal,” writes Didi Trowbridge of Wilkesport, Ontario.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced

True, of course I can't think why you would want to add suger to a salad dressing.
