CREAMY PECAN SALAD DRESSING

Creamy Pecan Salad Dressing image

I wanted a change from good ol' ranch! I searched the site, and then the web looking for a pecan dressing, and kept coming up with vinegar based dressings. Normally I would have made one of them, however my family is partial to creamy dressings, so I altered this recipe from "Betty Crocker's Easy Breakfast and Brunches" and it was a hit.
