The real secret to appetizing salads is the dressing. But, you probably know that store bought dressings are loaded with strange unwelcome ingredients. To put a dressing together is really easy! This one is my favorite because it is quick and, of course, easy.You will need:
A 2 cup glass jar
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup raw apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder or 2-3 minced garlic cloves (I use the powder for a kid-friendly version)
1 tablespoon mustard
1 teaspoon dried herbs like thyme and basil
1 teaspoon unrefined sea salt
Instructions
1. Combine all ingredients in the jar. Give it a vigorous shake. Store in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
I make this dressing on Monday and use it through out the week.
Children-Friendly Salad Dressing
For the Kid-friendly version, I combine this basic herb vinaigrette with my leftover berries syrup I used for our pancakes. I make enough to have left over for salads during the week.
Combine half the vinaigrette with half the berries syrup.
Or, 1/2 cup of berries syrup with 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt.
My kids like to eat the salad when I serve it with this berry dressing.
