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

This might be a better recipe if the garlic was 2 teaspoons. 2 tablespoons is A LOT of garlic!! It is VERY garlicy. I actually added more Parmesan, more lemon juice, and a 1/4 cup of lowfat vanilla yogurt, in order to make it palatable. - 1/28/10

Yes, you're right -- that's a lot of garlic! I really like that much garlic -- I guess its a personal taste, however, I've only made this recipe once -- my husband really complained about the smell of cooking the garlic! So - garlic lovers - this recipe is for you!!!
