Choose Your Own Flavor Herb Vinaigrette
"Comes from another website (from a mom!) Here's what she says: "My family hates eating the same dressing day after day. Yet, I don't like having a slew of opened bottles cluttering up the refrigerator. My solution is to make a quart of this all-purpose vinaigrette and vary it by adding spices, herbs or cheese. For the salad bar, you can divide the base mixture into smaller jars and then add different seasonings to each of them.""

This is so versatile, I love it. Made a 8 serve size (1 cup) and divided it into 3, putting italian herbs in one which I served 2T over fresh salad leaves and tear drop tomatoes. The other 2 I used fresh herbs and the 3rd pesto (still 2 use) but a taste test was yum. I used canola oil and the dijon mustard. Thank you WI Cheesehead and the tag game.

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
