Homemade Salad Dressing

Today at church I had a friend ask me how to make a yummy salad and dressing. I decided that Sundays will be Sunday Salads, hope you enjoy.

Homemade Salad Dressing Recipe:

In a bowl place 1/2 - 3/4 c. Olive Oil, 1/4 c. Red Wine Vinegar, 1/3 c. Honey, Salt and Pepper to Taste, 1 T. Oregano or Basil, and 2 t. garlic powder, stir well and pour over your favorite lettuce and serve.

Variations to this dressing recipe:

1/2 c. Cranberry Sauce
1/4 c. Orange Marmalade
1/4 c. Low sugar Strawberry Jam
2 squirts Mustard (yellow, dijon, stone ground, spicy)

To prepare your yummy salad:  Use romaine cut into pieces,  baby spinach leaves, or iceberg (if you are looking for no nutritional value),  some cherry tomatoes,  cucumber (cut into pieces),  olives (black, greek or green),  red onion (sliced) and add some crumbled feta cheese 9about 1/2 c) and  fresh berries (as many as you like). Pour your dressing over and mix. Serve with your favorite bread and soup.

Hope you enjoy.
