easy homemade salad dressing
my husband will not eat a salad without this homemade salad dressing. it is the easiest dressing to make and only has four ingredients. i always have to have it on hand and luckily i always have the ingredients on hand too. i got the recipe from a church cookbook and it compliments a chinese chicken salad that is yummy too. since summer weather is upon us, we are making more salads for dinner. i hope you enjoy this recipe and it goes well with a salad that has fruit topping it. i normally make a salad of greens, blueberries, carrots, apples, and sometimes shaved parmesean cheese. also, on special occasions i will top with some yummy candied walnuts. i have the recipe link here: the best sugared walnuts
enjoy and hope you are having a nice summer.
next weeks schedule is:
monday ~ family room updates
wednesday ~
friday ~ my inspirations
saturday ~ deer repellents that keep your plants happy!
salad dressing:
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 cup oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
stir all ingredients together in a pyrex mixing bowl and mix until sugar is somewhat dissolved. i do have a problem getting the sugar to dissolve, it does over time.

Hi Marlene,
I hope you like this dressing. You can use any vegetable oil that you like. I use Canola, but seriously any type will work. I have tried Olive Oil and it did a funky thing in the fridge. Let me know if you make it! Have a great weekend. 🙂

Hi Beckie,
I’m so glad you like my salad dressing. I do need to place my recipes in a framework that would give the calories and nutritional info. But, I think the calories might be shocking. Yes, look the other way and enjoy it!

I make one similar to this, but I add grated ginger and garlic. Sometimes a tiny splash of sesame oil. I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Asian salad dressings! I’m gonna try it your way next. Thanks!
