NANCY'S SWEET AND TANGY SALAD DRESSING



Nancy's Sweet and Tangy Salad Dressing image

Nancy reported that this salad dressing recipe is originally from "Lancaster Entertains", a cookbook published by the Lancaster Medical Society Auxiliary-at least 50 years ago! It is credited to Evelyn Jones, a friend of Nancy's mother. Nancy keeps a jar in her fridge, using it as her go-to salad dressing. I find it well suited for a basic spinach and strawberry salad and almost anything with fruit, nuts, and cheese. Moreover, the slight sweetness perfectly balances bitter greens and vegetables such as radishes.

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar; plain white vinegar may be used)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 cup salad oil (olive, avocado, grapeseed, and canola oil, all work well)

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients in blender until thick and well blended, about a minute. Store in the refrigerator.

Grandma's Sweet and Tangy Bean Salad image
