Salad Dressings


Have you ever actually looked at the ingredient list of your salad dressing????
High fructose corn syrup is at the top along with soybean oil...even in the ones advertising olive oil on the label!
I have one of the "old timey" cruets that you use to make the packaged dry dressings in. It has markings on the side for oil, water and vinegar. I use extra virgin, first cold pressed olive oil and whatever flavor of vinegar you choose. Add some spices, shake and viola you have a very tasty good for you dressing. It is better when it has had time to "marry" the flavors but can be used right away if you forgot to make more ahead of time. This time I used red pepper flakes, garlic granules, and garlic 'n herb Mrs. Dash. You can also add parmesan and change up the spices to suite your taste. You may even want to add a little fresh herbs (like basil, mint or oregano) from your garden if you have one. You won't beleive what you have been missing! Your dressing will have a clean fresh taste making you think about having salad more often.
