A couple of weekends\u00a0 ago I was helping out in the kitchen of a very dear friend.\u00a0 Her parents were coming for lunch and we were running late, so I offered to make the salad.\u00a0 Her Mom, Betty, asked if I would share the salad dressing recipe.<\/p>\n

I make this dressing almost every day.\u00a0 I use it for salads or over left over chicken or meat.\u00a0 It’s quite thick which makes it a perfect dip for raw vegetables.<\/p>\n

VIRGINIA’S SIMPLE SALAD DRESSING:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 tbsp Dijon mustard<\/p>\n

1 tbsp honey<\/p>\n

1 tbsp red wine vinegar in your salad bowl.<\/p>\n

Slowly whisk in 1\/3 cup extra virgin olive oil and whisk vigorously until thick.<\/p>\n

Now add a good sprinkle of sea salt or kosher salt and several grinds of black pepper.\u00a0 Taste\u00a0 to see if it needs more seasoning.<\/p>\n

Toss an 8 oz container of mixed greens\u00a0 or a head of coarsely torn green leaf lettuce into the bowl.\u00a0 Now give it a good toss to coat each leaf with the lovely dressing.\u00a0 It’s that simple.\u00a0 If you want you can add any other fresh vegetables . perhaps some sliced red onion.\u00a0 It’s your call.\u00a0 But be assured.\u00a0 On those days when you want a salad, but don’t feel like going to the bother of making one, this is your answer.\u00a0\u00a0 Enjoy.<\/p>\n
