Branston Pickle Balsamic Vinaigrette image

This is a copycat of Boston Pizza's house dressing which is delicious!!!! They said theirs contained sun dried tomatoes but it sure looked and tasted like Branston to me. This is now my signature dressing and is delicious on any green salad or vegetable dish!
