Hi, I've been dying to get my hands on this recipe and was wondering how you came across it? Are those the exact ingredients to make the salad dressing? Because from what I recall there weren't any red peppers? Nonetheless thank you so much for posting this :)
I've had this recipes for years. The recipe was posted in the Toronto Star back in the early 80's.

I have been known to make adjustments to recipes, so just in case I went back and checked the original recipe. I still have the page cut from the Toronto Star's TV guide and the original recipe did contain pimento.
