Salad dressing is expensive, and I always seem to run out of it. I never thought I could create my own yummy salad dressing, but one day, I was out, and I had to make my own.
After a few tries, my salad dressing tasted way better than store bought. In fact, it's so good I want to share my vague recipe with the world.
Note: The only exact measurement is the ratio of olive oil (cold 1st pressed to Trader Giotto's White Balsamic Vinegar, 1:1, otherwise season to taste.
Equal parts Olive Oil to Trader Giotto's White Balsamic Vinegar
For example, 2 Tbsp Olive Oil 2 Giotto's White Balsamic Vinegar
Drip olive oil and vinegar onto washed and cut/torn lettuce. I love Romaine hearts myself.
Add salt
3 dashes of Trader Joe's 21 spice
Squeeze on some lemon juice
Dash of Garlic Powder
A few dabs of Dijon Mustard
Squeeze on some Honey
Toss salad and let marinate 10 minutes, in the fridge if it's warm) (It tastes a million times better if you let the lettuce absorb the dressing). While you're waiting cut up some tomatoes, shred some carrots and mushrooms, or whatever else you have around.
After 10 minutes re-toss salad.
Add veggies and some sunflower seeds or sliced almonds for texture.
Bon Appetit!
