I'm keen on the sugar-free syrups, too, especially for smoothies. <br /><br />Cheryl ~ I'd love to know if you prefer one vs the other. Thanks for the kind words! <br /><br />Tricia ~ Now I'm hungry for YOUR salad! OH and it's prepared mustard, it's just a touch for a small serving of dressing. I changed the recipe so it's clear, thanks for mentioning. <br /><br />Julia ~ Great point, who needs all those preservatives?<br /><br />Cara ~ I was most happy that so little oil is needed!<br /><br />Stephanie ~ You are sooo right. <br /><br />Sarah ~ We need to spread this word!<br /><br />Sophie ~ You are so welcome!<br /><br />Christine ~ Buttermilk? Oh you're going to love the "ingredient" list at Kitchen Parade, including the <a href="http://www.kitchenparade.com/2002/10/favorite-ingredients.php#buttermilk_recipes" rel="nofollow">buttermilk recipes</a>. :-) <br /><br />Nick ~ Well aren't you so great for finding substitutes that will make your wife happy! :-) I would go for the 'cream' angle, maybe cream cheese or goat cheese though if she doesn't like feta, she may not like goat cheese either. It should be a fresh cheese, so ricotta would work, anything slightly wet. Hope this helps! <br /><br />Anonymous ~ Thanks for chiming in, I love your basil/lemon ideas too. <br /><br />Simply LIfe ~ Thanks! </i>Alanna Kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869948243694610558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-24951881920111934942010-05-03T18:45:55.788-05:002010-05-03T18:45:55.788-05:00oh this is great to know -looks delicious!oh this is great to know -looks delicious!Simply Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16492661388892873640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-80039085197655023372010-05-03T17:16:50.955-05:002010-05-03T17:16:50.955-05:00I always add the juice of half a lemon and use bas...I always add the juice of half a lemon and use basil instead of oregano. for Nick Stevens, how about a creamy goat cheese?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-61615815644617826592010-04-30T19:17:09.119-05:002010-04-30T19:17:09.119-05:00Ok I need some help because my wife HATES feta che...Ok I need some help because my wife HATES feta cheese (i mean I can't even sneak it in) so do you have a recommendation for a substitute well suited for this recipe?Nick Stevenshttp://www.vegetable-steamer-pro.com/trudeau-stainless-steel-vegetable-steamer/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-9117941258110461492010-04-30T07:44:33.796-05:002010-04-30T07:44:33.796-05:00I agree!

I usually make the salad dressing in the bottom of the big family salad bowl. Then add the salad ingredients and toss. It's easy, and you use fewer dishes!Stephaniehttp://kidscooking.about.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-71084875332360735942010-04-28T07:21:28.564-05:002010-04-28T07:21:28.564-05:00I really like that this uses so little oil and the...I really like that this uses so little oil and the flavor comes from the cheese.

It's so easy to whip up a salad dressing, especially if you keep lemons on hand, dijon mustard, olive oil, and vinegars. I also use DaVinci Sugar Free Syrups for flavors like Hazelnut and Macadamia (just a consumer, no financial interest).streetcarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128219089888026919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-16192960579378447922010-04-27T17:27:17.921-05:002010-04-27T17:27:17.921-05:00I'm glad you included the note about making th...I'm glad you included the note about making this recipe and another with the Penzey's Greek seasoning, because that is what I always use but I also have the ingredients for the recipe on hand.
