"What is a kiss? Why this, as some approve: The sure, sweet cement, glue, and lime of love"
-Robert Herrick, Poet

The refrigerator light goes on...

This dressing is sweet, spicy, tangy, and a bit salty all at the same time. A great balance of flavors with a Southwestern vibe.

The Greek yogurt is not a must with this, but using it rather than plain yogurt will give you a much richer, creamier dressing.
