Delicious Salad Dressing
A sweet and tangy salad dressing with a hint of onion and mustard, perfect for fresh greens and vegetable salads, adding a flavorful punch to your meals.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together sugar, celery seed, grated onion, vinegar, and prepared mustard.
- Shake well in a jar until all ingredients are combined and the sugar is dissolved.
Tips & Substitutions
For a balanced flavor, consider reducing the sugar if you prefer a less sweet dressing. You can substitute apple cider vinegar for white vinegar for a different taste. If you want a thicker dressing, adding a tablespoon of Greek yogurt can enhance the texture. This dressing works wonderfully with salads that include fruits, like the Pineapple - 7-Up - Lemon Salad.
Serving Suggestions
This salad dressing is versatile and pairs well with a variety of salads, particularly those featuring mixed greens, nuts, and fruits. It also complements roasted vegetables or can be drizzled over grilled chicken for added flavor. Try it alongside Oven-Crisp Sliced Potatoes for a delightful meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dressing in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to a week. Shake well before each use, as ingredients may separate over time. If the dressing thickens too much, you can thin it with a little water or additional vinegar to reach your desired consistency.
