The roasted onion dressing has a thick consistency with a sweet tang. A welcome change from the creamy or vinegary dressings usually used on salads. Everyone who has tried this recipe loves it.

Amazing salad and very original dressing with a great strong flavor! Even though it takes more than an hour to prepare, I totally recommend it!

We keep making it over and over to go with other salads.

The combination of the walnuts & red onion along with the dressing is quite a nice surprize. With the added ease of packaged greens this recipe is very quick!

This dressing would make a rock taste good. When you make it, be sure to include all the crispy black bits and the caramelized juices in the bottom of the onion roasting pan. Instead of sherry and chicken broth, I used vegetable broth, a little bit of chevre, a dash of apple cider vinegar, and a dash of worcestershire sauce. Dressing was to die for.

I found this salad dressing very different in texture and flavor than the regular dressings I make often. I roasted the onion and as suggested by one of the reviewers I added all the bit dark parts and juice left on the baking sheet, but I wouldn't do this next time because it gave a very stronger flavor.

Thought this was good. I didn't have sherry vinegar so I used half balsamic and half red wine vinegar. I added a few drops of liquid smoke just to give it a steak-ish flavored. I don't agree with other reviews that stated this is like gravy on salad. It won't be if the salad is tossed. It is then nice and light in texture. I also used splenda instead of sugar just for my sugar watching diet purposes. I though it was pretty decent and healthy and could be fitted in my diet. It beats the heck out of old plain olive oil and balsamic. Thanks for the recipe!

This was a great alternative to a fruity dressing, which my husband hates. However, I did add a 1/4 cup of sugar to it, and next time will decrease the vinegar. But, I will make it again. The carmelized onions have a strong, yet wonderful flavor.

I used two large red onions and instead of sherry wine vinegar I used part red wine, rice wine and balsamic. I also added dried cranberries, blue cheese and used candied instead of toasted walnuts.
