This homemade vinaigrette is a fridge staple at my house and I haven’t found a salad it does not taste good with. I get so spoiled with homemade dressings, I can’t stomach bottled dressings anymore. 1 C Canola or Grapeseed Oil 1/2 C Red Wine vinegar (I do more like 3/4 C) S&P 1/6 C sugar ( you can also use honey ) 1/3 C finely chopped purple onion Shake and refrigerate! You can double or triple this amount as well.

Pure Texas last night and oh my gosh! Loved the Fried chicken, corn, and biscuits but my takeaway was the salad dressing. It was a very simple salad which made the dressing really stand out. 2 TBS sugar 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper 1/4 c apple cider vinegar 2 Tbs canola oil (or Grape Seed Oil) 1 head Iceberg lettuce Combine all ingredients in a jar and shake. Refrigerate. Tear iceberg lettuce in pieces and refrigerate. Dress salad and top with a lot of cracked black pepper. ETC. Another key is serving the salad on a cold bowl or plate.

My girlfriend had me over for lunch the other day and made a salad with the most delicious dressing! She is the queen of salads and mine never taste as good.

And really, I’d eat it by the spoonful! 1/3 cup sugar 2 tbsp sesame seeds 1 tbsp poppy seed 1 1/2 tsp minced onion (I added a lot more and used purple onion) 1/4 tsp Worcestershire 1/4 teaspoon paprika 1/2 c veg oil 1/4 c apple cider vinegar (I used red wine and I think that’s fine too) Salad- Butter lettuce and Spinach Grilled chicken from last night Strawberries, blueberries, blood orange segments, orange segments Avocado Sliced almonds
