Salad Dressing - Easy Peasy

Hey everyone! Julie J was kind enough to share this recipe she found here. Although I haven't had time to try it out, I felt neglectful of this poor little blog so I wanted to get a recipe up here for you! She assured it was yummy and quite easy when you just throw everything in a mason jar, so give it a try! AND you don't have to deal with High Fructose Corn Syrup!! yay!!!

Since I didn't make it I don't have a picture. :( but just imagine a jar full of liquidy goodness!

Ingredients

Dressing:

  • 3/4 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan, more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • Dash or 2 of paprika
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled and left whole

Salad:

  • Green lettuce leaves
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup red grape tomatoes, halved

Directions

Place the olive oil, Parmesan, salt, pepper to taste, sugar, paprika, lemon juice and garlic into a jar. Shake it up and store in the fridge at least 24 hours before serving.

Serve the dressing with green lettuce leaves, sliced red onions and halved grape tomatoes. Also works well on pasta salad.
