Nonna's Tuscan Salad Dressing image

This very light, fresh dressing works equally well on mixed greens, spinach or romaine, or just drizzled over sliced, fresh, ripe summer tomatoes and fresh basil leaves. Quick and easy to make fresh, but stores well for up to 3 months in the refrigerator. It's a family recipe brought over from the old country by my nonna (grandma.)

The dressing was easy to make and had a nice flavor. However, it was a bit too oily for my taste.

I found the dressing to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more herbs or spices to give it more flavor.

This dressing is a bit too vinegary for my taste. I would recommend using a little less red wine vinegar.

I love the combination of flavors in this dressing. The red wine vinegar and Dijon mustard give it a nice tang, while the olive oil and honey balance it out.
