A Good Oil & Vinegar Dressing With 2 Variations
🖨 Print & View 👁
Elevate your salads with this versatile Oil & Vinegar Dressing featuring the perfect balance of quality oil, wine vinegar, and savory seasonings. The Parmesan and fresh lemon juice add depth and brightness, while two clever variations transform it into either Camper's Dressing with a touch of sweetness, or Near Caesar" with mustard and anchovies. A homemade classic that outshines any store-bought option and complements everything from simple greens to hearty entrée salads."
Ingredients
1/2 c. oil
1/8 c wine vinegar
1 T. parmesan cheese
1/2 t. garlic salt
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper

(continued in the next column ↗️)

1/2 t. Lawry's seasoned salt
juice of 1/2 lemon
Variation 1:
Add 1 teaspoon of sugar - I call this Camper's Dressing.
Variation 2:
Add 1 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, some chopped anchovies and you have a "Near Caesar" to add to cold greens, croutons, and a coddled egg. Simple and far better than any store-bought brand.
Directions
In jar or bowl, shake or stir all ingredients.
Always chill the greens and the salad bowl but not the dressing.
If you are serving continental style, serve the salad after the entrée to avoid a clash with the dinner wine.
Servings
Makes enough for one large salad.

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 What's Up With The Images? Well, originally, we didn't have any pictures of the food at all. Intentionally! Because I find those sites with so many pictures that it takes forever to get through the directions to be annoying AF! I mean, seriously, if you need a picture to show you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking!
Then I decided to add pictures of the finished product when I remembered to take them, which isn't very often. There are a very few recipes which actually show some cooking steps, but not in the middle of the directions.
Anyway, recently I have discovered that AI can make credible images of the finished recipe. Is that right? Is it moral? Are robots taking over the world? Don't know; don't care. But I promise that unless you are a robot, your recipes won't turn out anything like the pictures.
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
