MOM'S SALAD DRESSING (RED WINE VINEGAR)



Mom's Salad Dressing (Red Wine Vinegar) image

Simple and sweet, only three ingredients. To be clear, this is NOT an Italian-style dressing. This is a mild, sweet, natural-tasting dressing with NO kick (that's how I like it). Still tastes good if you replace the sugar with Truvia, though not so good with low-fat mayonnaise.

MOM'S SALAD DRESSING



Mom's Salad Dressing image

WARNING: This salad dressing might not fit your tastes. Proceed with caution! :) My brother and I had one choice of dressing for our salads growing up...Mom's. I've tried for years to get her to give up the recipe but all she would say is "Sissy, I don't measure. You have to make this one from your memories." This is my attempt to create the dressing I grew up with and loved! It's not for everyone but it sure is a hit in our family. (My brother pretty much refuses to eat any salad without it.) Thanks Mom!
