    This is so delicious! Perfect for a warm evening. All of the different flavors were so exciting…the sweet with the tangy/salty of the feta cheese. Fabulous recipe…will definitely make again!

    That is the best dressing I’ve ever had. Went to dinner at a friends house. He’s a gourmet chef and loved it. I didn’t have fresh basil and garlic, so I threw in two heaping tablespoons of pesto and held the salt.
