MAGGIE'S HOUSE DRESSING



Maggie's House Dressing image

I have two versions of what we call our House Dressing that I use for salads. I have been using the first version (the original) for over 40 years, and the second version for about 5. Everyone that has eaten my salads, loves either version, and more people than I can remember asked for the recipe. It is so simple and basic, yet it tastes great. Most of my guests always ask me to use my house dressing as opposed to bottled salad dressings. I never measure, so I will have to estimate, but I would suggest you go with the smaller amounts first, then taste and adjust, if necessary. Of course, the amount will have to be adjusted according to the size of the salad.

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS GREEK/HOUSE DRESSING



Absolutely Fabulous Greek/House Dressing image

This is the 'secret' Greek dressing recipe from the pizzeria that I work at. The recipe makes almost a gallon but can be scaled down easily. It can be used for picnics and travels very well, since it doesn't need to be refrigerated. This is the best dressing I have ever tasted, people offer to buy it constantly, but if we sold it we wouldn't be able to make enough to use in the restaurant!

  • Make your own dressing instead of buying it pre-made: Pre-made dressings are often high in calories, sugar, and unhealthy fats. By making your own dressing, you can control the ingredients and make sure it is healthy and flavorful.
