Michael Ferguson
My new go-to salad dressing! Healthy & flavorful. Omit the water if your tomato is especially juicy or use I like to use double tomato/no water.
Melinda Copeland
Easy and delicious!
Ricky Buckley
Delicious and easy to make. But what’s with serving size. It’s not even close.
Regina Winters
It was a great recipe… Definitely will use it in the future again. Thanks
Lawrence Richardson
This recipe is great but I think the serving size is off. I only got about 1/4 cup (didn’t add the grated tomato) so ended up making enough to get to 1 cup.
Janet Scott
As others noted below, added extra herbs (rosemary and parsley) and more garlic. Perfect!
Colleen Jarvis
It doesn’t even make a third do a cup.
Joanna Mays
This is wonderful, light and very flavorful …just what I was looking for!
Stephanie Hodge
Followed the recipe and give it four stars! (ended up adding a few more fresh herbs — that bumped it up to five stars but leaving at four, per recipe)
Kevin West
I was surprised at how good this was. Followed the suggestion of another reviewer and threw everything, including the whole tomato, into the Cuisinart (mini). Started with 1/2 the Dijon and used stevia instead of sugar. Ended up doubling the herbs as also suggested. A real winner for everyday.
