Salad, Anyone?
This time of year we eat a lot of salads. We have a small garden, and we supplement the veggies from the garden with fresh veggies from our local vegetable market.
To make salads a little more interesting, I try to vary the salad dressings. Here’s a recipe for a Sweet Onion Salad Dressing I found just recently that is really very good. The recipe is in the extended entry of this post.
And this keeps in the refrigerator for a good long while.
Sweet Onion Salad Dressing
3/4 cup sugar or sugar substitute
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 sweet onion (my choice is Vidalia), grated
3/4 cup vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
In a small saucepan, mix the first four ingredients. Add the grated onion, oil and vinegar. Heat until sugar is melted. Cool and refrigerate. Reheat and use to wilt lettuce or serve cold on salad.
