I made 3 of the variations to bring with us on a camping excursion and so far we have really enjoyed the onion dressing over a arugala. I am looking forward to the basic and Italian next. I will add to the review as we try them.

We had the Italian dressing with our salad tonight and it was fantastic. We will try the others, but will make this again for sure. It's really, really good.

I have tried all of these dressings over the winter and they are so delicious! It's so nice to be able to make them as you need them. I keep them on hand all the time now.

Wonderful Dressings! Been working my way through the recipes, have always relied on grandson for the Balsamic and finally have a go to! The Onion and the Honey Mustard are winners as well. I do not doubt the rest will be just as good. Recipes have been added to my collection.
