Q: I always look forward to my salad when visiting Outback Steakhouse at Toco Hills in Atlanta. I love the Tangy Tomato Dressing. If you could get their recipe, I could enjoy [it on] salads I make at home. Thanks. — Janice Henck, Clarkston

A: It's easy to see why this recipe would be a customer favorite. The combination is sweet, tart and full of tomato flavor. And no fat. What's not to love? Perfect for a side salad of lettuce with summer tomatoes and cucumbers. Or with a grilled steak salad.
