Years ago Mr. Farmer and I would frequent a favorite restaurant in Des Moines. We both fell in love with their “house” dressing. Each time we went, I would try to figure out what all the depth of flavors were. Of course I couldn’t get their recipe so I would test it out at home now and then.
This is the concoction I’ve come up with and I do hope you like it. We run out of it quite often.
Bonus: It’s a lot less expensive than it’s counterpart brand names. 🙂
