though your sins are like scarlet,
    they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red like crimson,
    they shall become like wool.
Isaiah 1:18

Thank you for this recipe I will be making this dressing it sounds great and I am hopeful that it is the one I am looking for. Thanks again
Great looking salads. Wonering if you have a recipe for the apple vinegret dressing. I have looked in the stores to purchase it but they only sell it in the gallons and it would spoil before I was able to use it all. Just asking. Thanks,
