Wed Jul 21 2004 - "Special" dressing
"Special" dressing
Comment on my last diary wondered about my special dressing. It's hard to give a recipe because it's a little different each time I make it. But here's the basic:

1. Equal parts of plain yogurt and mayonnaise (NOT salad dressing. I use Best Foods mayo)
2. Add enough milk to thin it to a consistency you like.
3. Add garlic powder to taste (crushed garlic clove, if you like)
4. Add Lawry's Seasoned Salt, but use a light hand and taste it before proceeding.
5. Tablespoon (heaping) of sweet pickle relish.
6. Now here's where the special comes in:

Use herbs (preferably fresh) like dill, rosemary, sweet basil, tarragon, celery seed (or whatever else sounds good). Celery seed is nice if you're not using celery in the salad itself. I especially like rosemary and tarragon together. Dill by itself is yummy, especially if you want to use the concoction as a dip.

Put all this in a jar with a tight cover and shake it and shake it and shake it until everything is blended. I suppose you could use a blender, but I prefer the shake method.

Then taste it again and add whatever else you think it needs.

So that's my "special" dressing. Enjoy.

I've had this dressing, and I can tell you, it's GREAT! I'd eat salad with Chaya any day!

thanks for that, I will add the ingredients to my shopping list for next week. Could you give me a little help on the Lawry's seasoned salt? i have never heard of this, what actually is it? Once I look in the salt/seasoning section maybe I will see something similar but I don't think I have ever seen or heard of Lawry's brand. If I can't find anything I will just use salt!

I have tried to figure a way for Hubby to give the meds, but his schedule does not allow him to be here during the times #1 needs medicating. Between leaving for work 2 hours before everyone wakes up, and being gone a few weeks almost every month, he is just not here to do it and I can't rely on needing him. I need to be able to handle it without Hubby.

By the way, the dressing sounds WONDERFUL!!!
