This is by far the MOST requested recipe I have ever made. I must give credit to my aunt for this recipe. I make a salad with this dressing for every single party we have. Also, my husband has requested we keep a bottle of this in stock at ALL times.
True to form, though, I have changed ingredients to suit us. Warning, I use A TON of garlic.
Ingredients
1/4 of a sweet onion (NEVER use a red onion)
3 cloves garlic
1 cup oil (NEVER use straight olive oil - the best choice is one of the heart healthy versions with canola, olive, and soy)
3/4 cup sugar substitute
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground celery seed
1 teaspoon dry ground yellow mustard
Toss everything in a blender and blend well. Serve chilled. Keeps very well in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks.
**I use this dressing over a salad with a combination of romaine lettuce, 2% shredded cheddar cheese or low fat feta cheese, diced red onions, diced red peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, dried cranberries, and dry roasted, unsalted almonds.
