This has been a quest for me since eating at the III Forks in North Dallas a few years. I tried to duplicate the dressing but failed miserably, many times. I found this version on the Texas Monthly website & it comes darn close to the original.

THREE FORKS SALAD

My version of the Dallas Steakhouse favorite. I once asked the Chef, "What is that little "something" flavor in the dressing?" He replied, "Molasses." Dressing should be used sparingly, more is not better. I recommend chilled plates. Need not limit to spring mix, I often serve over other salad blends as well.
