Posted at 22:15h, 24 JuneSorry you had this experience. This is the recipe for the dressing. There would be enough here for about 3 salads. It does keep for about 10 days refrigerated ..

Posted at 02:04h, 01 AprilThis week we went to East Side Mario’s on Upper James, Hamilton. Ontario.
We have always loved the salad at this chain of restaurants but the salad we had was a great disappointment. The dressing tasted dramatically different and more like over the counter bottled dressing. We will not give it a good rating at all and will probably not go there again.

Posted at 16:03h, 05 AugustThis is the absolute best salad dressing! I double the recipe and it’s enough for 10 days. I use this everyday at lunch on my salad.
Thank you so much for posting this!

Posted at 01:47h, 19 SeptemberBig lover of the Eastside Mario Salad and dressing. Today I decided I’m going to give it a whirl, this recipe is rated a ★★★★★. Nailed it! Loved it. Can’t wait to have it tomorrow too. I will make this again and again but will put it on other salads as well, Oh by the way I did not put the sugar in, doesn’t need it! Muah!
