italian vinaigrette salad dressing

There's this salad at Buca Di Beppo and they use a dressing similar to this on their Apple Gorgonzola Salad. It's not right according to my boyfriend who works there, but i love it anyway. It's always better after a few days in the fridge. (ps, this isn't my recipe, i found in on the internet look for meemoskitchen on google)Submitted by: MMPIXIE

Ok, This is is pretty good. I think some of the things I would alter is to add the tomatoes and basil at the end, I didn't get much basil flavor and I was pretty sad about that. I also felt that the tomatoes cooked down too much to really get any flavor. Other than that it was great! Good flavor! - 3/3/11

OH. MY. Goodness. This is SO good! I substituted chicken broth for the white wine, since I didn't have any. I also used Ronzoni High Fiber pasta, so my fiber count would be higher.

I will absolutely be making this again before asparagus is out of season! - 5/24/09
