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 was good but didn't taste like pasta alla vodka, so I was disappointed because I went into making and eating it thinking that. Though it was a tasty sauce! - 6/18/09

I am sorry that you were a little disappointed, it is a very light version unfortunatly when you trade out heavy cream for lowfat/skim milk it does lose a little of that. You can try whole milk if you want a creamier more vodka like taste. Thanks for making this and taking the time to respond. Bye.
