Comments from Nicole Lachner :

The best tasting warm spinich salad dressing ever. I have yet to receive one complaint and have many requests.

User Reviews:

I have never been a fan of spinach until I tried this dressing. I did not have shallots, so I did not use them. Instead of mushrooms, I used carrots, and instead of pecans I used walnuts. Very Yummie! I am also single, so I am hoping the dressing stays for awhile in the frige. Thanks!

This is the best dressing I have ever had. I used onions and garlic since I didn't have shallots, and roasted pine nuts instead of pecans.

Thank you so much !!!!!!
