Dressing

I love salad.

I mean love salad.

My husband eats a lot of it for me...

thank you Michael.

If you love salad..

then you love salad dressing.

It is the most important part.

So I started making my own.

It is yummy.

Salad Dressing

1/2 cup olive oil

4 tablespoons vinegar

2 tablespoons citrus juice

3 teaspoons of sweetener

1/2 teaspoon of each spice

salt and pepper taste

Mix above ingredients in a small jar with a lid.

Shake it up.

Let it sit for a few 

(a day or an hour - what ever you have.)

Shake again.

Pour.

Toss with a any salad and veggies.

On a new approach to simpler foods...

I am trying to keep my ingredients in salad to be under 5.

Spinach, tomato, onion, parmesan.

Romain, carrot, brocoli, cheddar.

or

Arugula, red bell pepper, asiago, almonds.

The dressing recipe is vague, I know...

but the options are endless.

Here are some great choices

citrus juice: lime 

sweetener: honey

spice: grated garlic, dry mustard, cayenne (1/8 teaspoon)

or

citrus juice: orange 

sweetener: skip - the juice is sweet

spice: chile powder

or

citrus juice: lemon 

sweetener: sugar

spice: grated garlic, parsley, oregano

or

citrus juice: lemon 

sweetener: sugar

spice: red pepper flake, oregano, basil, grated garlic

The taste is so fresh and yummy.

You can't mess this up.

Give it a shot.
