Recipe

For any of you who like fresh and light salad dressings, here's an easy one that I use and love. I like to mix field greens and crunchy romaine, dried cranberries, candied pecans, or grilled pears and sprinkle fun cheese like apricot stilton on top of the salad.  You can add grilled and sliced chicken breast to make it a complete meal.  Delish!
