SPINACH SALAD DRESSING



Spinach Salad Dressing image

My ex-wife developed this recipe about 30 years ago, but it has been modified many times over the years due to changing tastes and the availability of ingredients. Decrease olive oil by half, and increase spices and hot sauce to make a great marinade for grilling meat and veggies. Prep time does not include time for designing and building your salad... just for making the dressing.

Provided by Toby Jermain

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 10m

Yield 1 cup, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar, for 'bite'
1 tablespoon sugar, to taste (originally had 1/4 cup. but that's way to sweet for me now)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon sriracha sauce (preferred) or 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, to taste
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a jar, except olive oil, and shake thoroughly to mix.
  • Allow to set at room temperature for 30 minutes, shaking occasionally, add olive oil, shake again, and refrigerate until needed, but at least 1 hour.
  • Shake and toss with spinach salad (spinach, hard-boiled egg, sliced fresh mushrooms, real crisp bacon bits, croutons, etc.) or other greens.
  • Note: Use the Sriracha hot sauce if you can find it.
  • It adds a lot of flavor, not just heat!

Tips:

  • Always wash and dry your spinach thoroughly before using it in the salad. This will help to remove any dirt or grit, and it will also help the dressing to adhere to the leaves.
  • Use a variety of fresh, seasonal ingredients in your salad. This will give it a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of dressings. There are many different recipes available online, so you're sure to find one that you like.
  • If you're making the salad ahead of time, be sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will help to keep it fresh and prevent the dressing from becoming watery.
  • Serve the salad immediately after dressing it. This will help to prevent the leaves from wilting.
