Once again a winning recipe of Italian dressing that does not contain sugar, but adds the mustard powder. A perfect summer salad recipe. Thank you.

I used romaine lettuce and since there were so many different tastes in salad ingredients, I made the salads on individual salad plates and adjusting the ingredients to suit each individual taste. The dressing is a very nice addition to the fresh ingredients. Well seasoned and not overpowering.

I’m sorry to give this just 3 stars, especially since it has gotten better ones. Maybe you have to be a real salad lover to appreciate this salad. For us, it was just okay. The dressing is nice, but I think my family would have to have cheese and croutons on the salad for us to really enjoy it.

The dressing was perfect for this salad. Not too oily. I liked all the colors and flavors in the salad. I used butter and bibb lettuces and my olives were pitted kalamata olives. I made this just as written. I may add some shaved parmesan cheese next time. Thanx!

This made a quick, easy side for my dinner tonight. I used to like sweet dressing all the time, but lately have really been enjoying savory dressings. I made this almost exactly, used green onions. Thanks Heather!
