I love salad, the only thing I hate is making it! I know it's just me being lazy, but cutting lettuce and veggies feels so tedious. So I usually home made salad dressing, which in turn motivates/forces me to make salad (Nobody wants to waste good salad dressing, especially after you've taken the time to make it!) This dressing is perfect with cool crisp lettuce and veggies and it's home made so it has no artificial flavors or preservatives like the ones in the grocery store. Make a batch of this and it will stay good in the fridge for up to two weeks, which might motivate you to eat some salad everyday...or every other day! :)
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup vinegar (white, red wine, balsamic-whichever you like)
- 2 TSP dijon mustard
- 1 TSP of honey
- 2 TBSP finely diced red pepper
- 1/2 TSP dried oregano
- 1/2 TSP dried basil
- 1/2 TSP dried parsley
- 1/2 TSP crushed red pepper
- 1/2 TSP celery salt
- 1/4 TSP ground black pepper
Directions
- In a bowl whisk together vinegar, mustard, dried herbs, salt and pepper until well combined.
- Place the herb mixture in a food processor, slowly drizzle olive oil from the opening (in the lid) and mix on low speed until olive oil and ingredients are well combined.
- Store dressing in a glass jar/container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
