Honey French Dressing
Farm Journal’s Country Cookbook Copyright 1959, 1972
1 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/3 c. cider vinegar
2 tblsp. honey
1 c. salad oil
In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper and dry mustard; stir in vinegar and honey. Slowly add the salad oil while beating with a rotary beater or electric mixer. I just shook it all up in a lidded jar.
Makes about 1 1/3 cups.
This was such a simple, delicious salad dressing. I really love putting together salad dressings from scratch. Sunday, my son got a small hive on his face while eating dinner at my in-law's house. I had looked at the ingredients on the salad dressing before giving it to him, but I looked again to make sure I didn't miss anything. There was quite a list of ingredients on that little bottle of salad dressing, even though it was 'all-natural'.
Sometimes I just want a simple iceberg lettuce salad. Iceberg lettuce was on sale for a buck and I think the croutons were too. I just added some red onion. This hit the spot. My son loved it too. I served it with some stuffed shells that I'll be telling you about soon.
Question of the Day: Do you make your own salad dressings?
I sometimes make my own salad dressing but I also buy it. Although I don't think we've even finished a bottle before it was time to toss it.
ReplyDeleteI buy it for the times I don't have a chance to make it.However,I make my owm most of the time.I like it better.Today for lunch,I just sprinkled some red wine vinegar over my salad.
ReplyDeleteI usually use Newman's Olive Oil & Vinegar dressing and DH thinks Hidden Valley Ranch is the only dressing you should put on salad. This dressing looks easy & good. I always thought French dressing was tomato based. Is this one sweet like the bottled French dressings? (I don't care for sweet).
ReplyDeleteThankfully we're all fairly healthy. I've discovered that I'm a carb addict and when I eat high starchy foods, I lose total control of my eating so I have actually been able to lose weight by carefully watching my refined sugars and high starch foods. Those cookies you posted yesterday looked really good but I'm resisting!
I always use the Good Seasons packets for Italian but I do make my own Ranch... so much better than the store bought kind!
