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.
