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

Thanks for posting this. It's one of my favorites. I bought all the ingredients but lost the recipe. You saved my dinner tonight! This is so yummy and doesn't taste low-cal at all. My kids LOVE it! One tip: chop the spinach before adding to the pot. - 5/7/09

Delicious dish. I did add a few green olives and topped it off
with some Homemade Basil Pesto. Used fresh tomatoes, garlic flakes, and oregano. So good. Will be making again. - 9/24/10

I LOVED this recipe! I only put half the red pepper and it was perfect on the spice for me. The next time I make this dish we will be added grilled chicken breast. Leftovers the next day were great! - 7/30/11

This is so simple and tasty. I used whole wheat penne and only 1/8 tsp nutmeg (might leave it out entirely next time). You might want to reserve some pasta water to help wilt the spinach, as the mixture gets a little thick with 10 oz of fresh spinach. Next time I might used thawed frozen spinach. - 12/6/10
