I love homemade salad dressings. So nice to be able to change your mind and whip up the kind of dressing you want when you want it! I have been trying to have salads at least 5 times a week ( we are not big on salads, and usually the price for us is too high in late fall and winter…. I have paid up to $5 for a head of lettuce for Christmas dinner when the girls were younger. Only because they asked for a salad at the dinner… lettus… not coleslaw, or jellied!). Summer is great when we can nip out into the garden and cut fresh greens and eat them. I wait each spring for dandilion greens and walking onions, for my first feast of the year!
