    Made this on a whim just to try it and this is an awesome recipe!! Had to reduce the salt for health reasons and used 1/2 cup grapeseed oil and 1/2 cup olive oil. If you like Olive Garden Dressng this ia a great copycat!! And no high fructose corn syrup like the store bought stuff.

  5. What brand of Italian dressing mix do you suggest? This recipe looks awesome and will be simple to veganize with vegan mayo. I am excited to try it!
