SALAD MONTH recipes

May 10, 2010

I just learned that May is Salad Month.  Salads are popular food when the seasons get warmer.  My husband made macaroni salad just yesterday to go with grilled burgers, while I made my dressed up Italian dressing to go on greens.

Here is that recipe that is made with Backyard Patch Italian Dressing & Marinade:

  • 2 small cloves garlic
  • 2 tsp. sugar
  • 2 tsp dry mustard
  • 1Tbls onions grated
  • 1/8 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/8 cup balsalmic vinegar
  • 2 Tbls lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup olive oil (evoo)
  • 1/2 cup sun flower or canola oil
  • 2Tbls BYP Italian Dressing Mix
  • 1 tsp celery seed
  • 1 tsp parmesan cheese

Directions:

  1. Whisk garkic, sugar, mustard, onion, vinegars and lemon juice in a medium bowl.
  2. Whisk together oil; add to vinegar in a streamm whisking to emulsify.
  3. Whisk in herbsm celery seed, and cheese.
  4. Refrigerate an hour before serving, keeps up to a week.

One of my favorite dressings (no I do not make a mix for this) is Green Goddess Dressing.  Jim Long in his book The Best Dressed Salad, included this version along with 174 other dressings.
