This delicious salad dressing recipe was shared with me by Alleta Huston. Alleta says, "My friend gave me this recipe and it is wonderful with any type of herb vinegar. It's sort of a French style dressing. I gave this dressing out with my herb vinegar this Christmas." Alleta wrote the Ethel's Guidelines For Making Herb Vinegar.

Everybody's Salad Dressing

Recipe Type: Salad Dressing, Condiments
Yields: 1 1/2 cups
Prep time: 10 min


Ingredients:

1/2 cup herb vinegar (your favorite)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon celery seed (optional)
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (peel)
1 cup olive oil or canola oil


Preparation:

In a medium bowl or food processor, whisk together herb vinegar, sugar, honey, salt, celery seed, dry mustard, and lemon zest.

Add oil in a thin stream, whisking until emulsified. Note: By gradually whisking or blending the oil into the vinegar, you create an emulsion (a mixture of two liquids that usually don't combine smoothly).

Store, covered, in the refrigerator. Serve at room temperature.
