Hello Jennifer or Ina,

The below recipe for "Luminarias House Dressing" might be the one you want. I found it in a recipe collection with no information other than the name and the recipe. It does not mention Fort Worth or Texas. "Luminarias" is a Mexican word for small fires or candles that are lit in memory of the dead. We called them "luminaries" where I used to live. There have been Mexican restaurants with the name "Luminarias" in California and New Mexico and possibly in other places. I found Luminarias restaurant mentioned on a few Fort Worth nostalgia message boards, but no recipes except for this one. This recipe does have honey and mustard and chopped onion.

I will post this for reader input.
