    There is no link to click for the creamy lemon dressing. Will that link be added? That dressing looks GOOD!

    It’s so nice to have so many dressing options in one spot. I often struggle with what to put on my salads. Thank you so much for providing this for us.

    Thank you for sharing these! I cannot find a “Creamy Lemon Dressing” on your site. I find Lemon Pepper Dressing (with the fritter recipe) and a Vegan Lemon Dressing.

      Hi Tani, that’s the same one! It’s a creamy lemon dressing that has pepper in it. I edited it and put the correct link.
