Italian Dressing

Most salad dressings are simple to make and the older and some of the newer cookbooks have good recipes for them. The best thing is that you can make as much as you need and not have a lot of leftover bottles in your refrigerator.

Italian Dressing
1 cup Salad Oil 

1/4 cup good vinegar

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon celery salt

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/4 teaspoon dry mustard (this is powder not yellow mustard out of the jar)

1 clove garlic. minced

dash Tabasco

Combine ingredients in a jar, cover and shake well.

This dressing is good for marinating vegetables and to dress potato or pasta salads before adding mayonnaise too.  Much better than purchased dressings.
