Lauras Family Secret Creamy Italian Dressing Recipes

LAURA'S FAMILY SECRET CREAMY ITALIAN DRESSING

Steps:

• Put all ingredients in a blender and blend well. Serve with a chopped salad with your choice of ingredients (toss the salad with the dressing and don't just pour over the salad).
• Suggestions for chopped salad: chopped mixed lettuces & baby spinach, carrots, tomatoes, artichoke hearts or garbanzo beans, cucumbers, red/green/yellow bell peppers, jicama, fresh basil or herbs of choice. Chop all ingredients in a uniform size (I use kitchen shears to chop the lettuces) and toss. You can do this ahead and assemble the salad at the last minute, having stored the ingredients in ziplock bags in the fridge. Toss with dressing immediately before serving.
