How many times have we rushed through the kitchen, trying to get the evening meal on the table and open the refrigerator to find there is no salad dressing left in the bottle. Some kind heart has reserved the place for the future, full bottle of dressing by leaving the empty one there. I have a few dinner saving ways to dress a salad even when the salad dressing didn't make the grocery cart that day.
No Cream Dressing
1/2 cup to 1 cup mayo (depends on how much salad you are making)
1-2 tablespoons of cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown or granulated sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl using a whisk. It is sweet and tangy and does the job when all else fails! Also, you can add your own touches with dried dill, freshly chopped Basil, chili flakes, finely diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion . . .
Refreshing Citrus Dressing
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Dash of salt and pepper
1 tablespoon honey
Mix all these ingredients and there you have it. It goes well with a Romaine lettuce salad, cucumbers, and tomatoes.
