Attention Pinkie !... ^!^



I am finally getting around to posting the Mediterranean Salad dressing recipe for you.



You will need Lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and sugar. For spices I use basil, oregano, black pepper, and fennel seeds.



I like to soak the spices in the lemon juice as early as I can to infuse their flavors into the dressing adding the sugar and olive oil later



This salad dressing is excellent over many greens even dandelions! It also goes on pasta, cold cuts, cheeses, and fresh tomatoes. Dipping bread into this dressing adds so much to each bite.

A hectic day here with a stack of paperwork, house work, MUTTs and toting in some firewood. The cold front came a bi earlier than predicted accompanied with a strong breeze from the NW. We never reached the predicted high only achieving 44F ... 7 C here with cloudy skies.

A very good day Seren.. only 2 Oxys so far and even a good workout bringing in some firewood.

Think 2 tablespoons each of sugar, lemon juice and olive oil.

That food plate looks so delicious Darter. If I had some of those fancy spices, I might try that salad dressing. I try to find my salad dressings on sale at the groc store. Sometimes get some from the food bank too.

I'm so happy for you that you had a good day, Darter. Take care. It was good to ketchup with you in the Lobby tonight.

Roger watch or ask for them at the food pantry. You may aslo grow the basil and oregano up there from seed. I have not had any luck with the fennel down here.

I am certain you will enjoy it Maudie... even go out and pick young Dandelion greens.. just be sure they have not been sprayed with any chemicals.

Looks delish ! I haven't made that in a while. I did make a dressing for a fruit and veggie salad for a holiday and nobody was adventurous to try it ! Except me and my daughter. It was ok, but I guess fine dining wasn't for everyone ! LOL They ate all the freakin shrimp and cocktail sauce before I could even serve it !!!!! (ex and grandkid !!)

Mmmm It's most trying having to deal with barbarians. I enjoy this dressing so much I will make a meal of just dipping bread into it.
