Re: salad and salad dressings...
OK, u gotta know the traditional french vinaigrette salad dressing? 1 spoon vinegar, 3 spoons oil, salt n pepper.
As i am not french, i prefer 3 spoons vinegar, 1 spoon oil, LOTS of salt, some pepper.
I add some garlic powder and lemon juice to oil n little vinegar with salt, its nice.
Fresh flat leaf parsley is nice in salads. Apples n celery goes well too.
