Our Classic French Salad Dressing

Our Classic French Salad Dressing

So at this point, you guys know we love a good salad.  I mean we have had one for every single meal we have had here.  When it comes to making these salads, we always use the same recipe for the dressing.  This wonderful, simplistic recipe is a French style, and has always been used by our family for as long as we can remember.  With this basic dressing, you can really get creative with your salads because it goes with everything!

All you need is salt, old fashion styled mustard or herb mustard, parsley, organic olive oil, and Xérès Vinegar.  We also sometimes throw in crushed garlic. 

So to make this dressing you first crush the garlic, then put a dash of salt, a teaspoon of mustard, one tablespoon of vinegar, and three tablespoons of olive oil.  Mix everything together and you have a great dressing for any salad!
