Marcia Kelly

This sweet, mustardy salad dressing is from JBF member Marcia M. Kelly's book Heavenly Feasts, a collection of recipes from monasteries and retreat centers she visited in the United States. Drizzle over a spinach salad topped with smoky, grilled chicken or toss with simple mixed greens.
