My Home-Made Salad Dressing
I'm baaack! It's been almost a month I think since my last post? This summer has been fun. I keep busy every day by taking my 2 babies out and about...museums, parks, beaches, or we just chill here at my place ;) Can't believe that summer is almost over, eeeeeek! :( My son isn't looking forward to it. He's going into the 2nd grade, so I told him that he really needs to buckle down this year and FOCUS. I don't know how many readers out there have children school aged in the NYC public schools, but this aint a JOKE! Kinda feel bad for him, lol. I don't remember all this craziness when I was his age in school :/
I could go ON and on, but this isn't what this post is for. This post is all about this home-made salad dressing that I make. I don't even buy salad dressing anymore (only if I know that someone is coming over, I will buy one or two).
BOTH of my kids LOVE this dressing, they ask for seconds of salad every-time. What parent wouldn't love for their kids to ask for seconds of veggies? :)
Okay, so here is what you need. This is SUPER easy and simple.
You need:
1. Vinegar
2. Olive Oil (or another oil that you like to use, I prefer OO because its healthier. Other suggestions could be coconut oil, and canola oil)
3. Onion (I use red, but either could work just as well)
4. 1 Clove of Garlic (or buy chopped garlic that they sell in some whole food stores)
4. A small round Tupperware with lid
5. Dicing knife (Any knife will work just fine though. But a dicing one will get garlic and onion thinly sliced to how you want)
6. Spoon
So after you gather all those things, start dicing HALF of a onion into fine, thin pieces. Continue to do the same thing to the garlic. The more garlic that you dice up, the more zing the dressing will have. I LOVE zing, so I use a lot of garlic. Okay...so now you should have onion and garlic chopped. Grab that small Tupperware and place chopped onion and garlic in the tub ;) Now...take about 1 1/2 cup of vinegar and pour into the Tupperware. Covering onions and garlic. You can add less or more vinegar depending on how many people will be served. I always eye the amount that I make. Next, add in 1 teaspoon/1 tablespoon of olive oil. Okay, so now all the ingredients are in there =) Take your spoon and stir everything around for about 20 seconds...and you're DONE! So easy, super simple. Depending on how much you make, you can cover this up and save it for tomorrow nights dinner. Here at my place, we have salad almost EVERY night, so I will make enough to save for tomorrow.
Let me know if you TRY this at home and how it turns out! Like I said, my hubby and kids love this!!
**The picture below is a friend of mine who tried the recipe and posted it and tagged me on FB. So this is thanks to her ;)**
