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:
Whisk garkic, sugar, mustard, onion, vinegars and lemon juice in a medium bowl.
Whisk together oil; add to vinegar in a streamm whisking to emulsify.
Whisk in herbsm celery seed, and cheese.
