I have been making this dressing for many years. Its roots came from a small restaurant in a small town in Massachusetts, over 25 years ago. I never got the original recipe, over my dead body, was the response I got; however, this is my version, based on taste. I have used it so much that it has earned the title “house dressing.” So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

Add all of the ingredients, except the olive oil, to a blender, or food processor fitted with an S blade.
