SALAD DRESSING: (this recipe idea came from Kael. Thank you Kael, I dont think I will ever buy store bought dressing again!!)
You can add whatever fresh herbs are in season to give your salad dressing that extra freshness. Each time I make this dressing it is a little different, but the basic recipe would be roughly:
- 2/3 cup apple cider vinegar (more if you like your dressing more vinegary and less if you dont like as much "zing")
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1+ cloves of fresh minced garlic...I like to use quite a bit but some people dont really like too much garlic (I usually use about 6-8 cloves, but we really like garlic. I mince the garlic with a Garlic Press and it makes it really quick and easy)
- pinch salt
- pinch fresh cracked pepper
- add in whatever herbs you have on hand. (this time I added chives and basil)
Tip from JD & Kristy - They substituted the honey mustard for mustard and honey!! JD said the pure honey gave the dressing some amazing flavor!! Give that a try, I know I am sure looking forward to making "honey dressing!!".
And of course, head our to the garden for a fresh salad and veggies!!
Enjoy!
