Yummy!!! We had this salad with your Beef Enchilada Mac and Cheese tonight. Super tasty! To be followed by the Eclair cake from Shugary Sweets, too! Thanks for dinner, Aimee!
I recently figured out I am allergic to lemons. As much as I love the flavor, it triggers migraines. Is there any substitutions for the lemon? Or can it be omitted without changing the flavor?
Could you use apple vinegar instead of white?
I often make homemade Italian dressing but I never thought of putting mayo in it. I bet my husband would like that better because he loves mayonaise! I’ll try it. Thanks for the recipe! I never tried that lasagna either and I think I will give it a whirl.
Yum, looks so delicious! Love the homemade dressing!
OF course – now I see it 🙁
What are the measurements? Am I missing them?
Wondering how long the dressing can be kept in the fridge? Thanks.
Because there is mayo in it, I say 7 days.
I LOVE this!! Its my new favorite dressing!!
It was a huge hit!! A new favorite dressing in my house!
