Salad dressing

Tuesday, December 26th, 2006

The labels on the stuff I use to make my own aren’t
that informative, but instead of buying salad dressing,
I make my own now. It’s much cheaper, and I’ve found
it’s also more beneficial to my bs levels. (that’s
blood sugar, by the way, not the other type of "bs"!) :)
I start with 4 ounces of pure white vinegar.
Using the spice grinder Italian seasoning mix,
I grind in the spices to taste, into the vinegar,
and let it sit for half an hour IN the vinegar.
I like a lot of spice in it.

I then pour 6 ounces of virgin olive oil into an old
wine bottle, along with 1 oz. of dry, red wine.
