This is the best dressing I have ever had. I used onions and garlic since I didn't have shallots, and roasted pine nuts instead of pecans.

Thank you so much !!!!!! March 6, 2006

I have never been a fan of spinach until I tried this dressing. I did not have shallots, so I did not use them. Instead of mushrooms, I used carrots, and instead of pecans I used walnuts. Very Yummie! I am also single, so I am hoping the dressing stays for awhile in the frige. Thanks! July 5, 2007
