Sounds deeeeeeeeeeee-vine! Yum!
I make this all the time but never thought of adding left over pizza. How delish that sounds. We make a Middle Eastern salad with bread called Fatoush...this would be much like it. I can't wait to try...now I need to order a pizza and tell them not to eat it all! :)
Pasta salad is on my menu this week...I am going to use your dressing on it since I have some in the firdge...left over pizza...well I NEVER but will now :)
Wish you were here to make it for me. Love, Mom
am doing this TONITE!!!!!!!!!!Perfect on these blazing days-99 tomorrow with higher heat index....
makes me LONG for fall!
Hi Catie! Making this again. We absolutely love it. wondering if you have ever used olive oil instead of canola oil??
mary ~
i always use canola oil because it has a neutral taste. my olive oil is REALLY fruity.
if you try it with olive oil, please let me know how you like it.

it turned out great substituting the olive oil for canola! really couldn't tell a difference in taste, the olive oil dressing is a tad thicker.
hi catie! i am in the process of making your yummy dressing - after i had a moment of *panic* because i couldn't remember where i found the recipe last time - searched the ning site and then remembered it was on your blog...so i've just had a lovely stroll through your past couple months looking for the title that would remind me where the recipe was :)
anyhoo, would you ever consider putting your yummy recipes in one spot? you make such yummy stuff - like i had totally forgotten about the fried sage leaves. but, if i could come to one spot to find your recipes i would be a happy chef ;)
i know it's more work for you, but just a thought that would be helpful for your lovingly devoted followers ♥ xoxo

i love your idea of a spot for recipes.
there are lots of widgets & gadgets that i can add... maybe something like that would work as a list of links?
also, for next time, there is a google search engine that searches just my blog. maybe i'll see if i can scoot it up under my followers...
thanks for the devotion, jill!
i love you for it ♥
