French Dressing

We like this dressing with green leaf, an assortment of vegetables, cheddar cheese, and either seeds or sprouts.

  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 6 T. vinegar
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 3 T. sugar
  • 2 t. salt
  • 1 t. garlic powder
  • 2 dashes tobacco
  • 1 small onion
  • 1/2 t. lemon zest
  • 1 lemon, juiced
Put all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.

Enjoy!

Triple-Berry Salad

We originally made this salad with blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries thus the name Triple Berry salad. However, we often don't have these three berries and so we have substituted oranges, tangerines, raspberries or pomegranate seeds. Whatever fruit you use, the general recipe stays the same.

Salad:

  • Mixed Greens
  • Strawberries, Blackberries, and Blueberries
  • Onion, chopped
  • Praline Pecans
  • Blue cheese
  • Maple Dressing

Maple Dressing:

  • 1/3 c.apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 c. maple syrup
  • 1/2 t. spicy mustard
  • 1/4 t. pepper
  • 1/4 t. salt
Mix all together and slowly add 2/3 c. olive oil. Whisk until emulsified.

Tomato and Goat Cheese Salad

  • Mixed Greens
  • 4-5 tomatoes, diced
  • Onion, chopped
  • Toasted Pine nuts (Be very careful not to burn the pine nuts while toasting!:) )
  • 1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled
  • Greek Dressing


Greek Dressing:

  • 2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 13 cloves garlic, peeled (don't worry about mincing these-they're going in the blender...)
