Homemade Salad Dressing

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)
• 2+ tsp honey mustard/dijon mustard/sweet and sour mustard
• 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!!".

The dressing will seperate due to the oil and vinegar so make sure to give it a good shake before you pour it on your salad. Ive found that refrigerating it an hour or so before eating really helps.

And of course, head our to the garden for a fresh salad and veggies!!

 Enjoy!
