Cheaty’s Favourite Salad Dressing

This salad dressing is my own li’l concoction. I’d forgotten about it for some time. But, today, I decided to make the family a great salad — because, really?, what better way to show your family you love them than make them a fresh salad, especially after DADA took them out for grilled cheese, french fries and popcorn. Ahem.

It is seriously delicious — nutty and tangy — and composed of only a few ingredients. Walnut oil may be an unusual one for you, but it’s a TASTY alternative to flax seed oil for getting your daily dose of omega 3 fatty acids (which, as most of you know, are essential fats — essential to both physical and emotional health).

Check it!

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup Walnut Oil
1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
1 clove Garlic (minced)
Pepper (to taste)

INSTRUCTIONS

Put all the ingredients in a bowl, stir, and drizzle on salad. It would be great if you could let it sit for a bit before serving, so the vinaigrette can absorb the garlic flavour, but no biggie.

ENJOY! And let us know what you think!

Delish! Even if you have to substitute dijon for regular. Sorry, I’m a little low class sometimes ;)
