9/19/2010 03:20:40 AM Report AbuseI love this recipe and have been making it for years. However, I use agave nectar to sweeten all of my dressings. It is low glycemic, so it is not bad for you like sugar is. Just remember agave nectar is not non-caloric. I also use it to sweeten homemade lemonade, iced tea and coffee, smoothies, Whipping cream, homemade ice cream, etc. You can find agave nectar at Costco, Trader Joe's and Whole Foods.
