This recipe is mislabled, however it is tasty.
I used light olive oill, not the extra virgin green.

Oil is 100 calories per tablespoon. When one is using a healthy oil, as in olive or other non hydrogenated oil we are getting health benefits from the oil.
Wesson oil is hydrogenated and should not ever be ingested, if you care about the quality of your health.
Wesson oil is designed for shelf life not excellent health.

Hi GTT,

It's all about serving portions. I've modified the recipe to reflect more accurately the correct serving portions.

Keep in mind, also that much of the oil in a salad dressing is not actually consumed, but left behind on the dish and in the mixing container.

Thanks for your input!
