Recipe

• 1 i like to make this in my mini food-processor, but i'll give the directions both ways.
• 2 food processor: combine all ingredients except pecans and blend well. add pecans and blend so that some of the pecans are ground fairly fine and some are still recognizable.
• 3 by hand: if you have anyway to crush the pecans, crush a tablespoon or so. combine all ingredients and blend well.
• 4 toss with salad: add a little at a time and toss in an oversized bowl. store leftover dressing in the fridge.
• 5 note: when we're dieting, i substitute low-fat mayo and sour cream.
