Homemade Western Style Salad Dressing
- Ready In:
- 5mins
- Ingredients:

- Yields:
-
16 Tbs (approximate)
- Serves:
- 6-8
ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup ketchup
- 1⁄4 cup light olive oil or 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar or 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 14 teaspoons celery salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon xanthan gum
directions
- I just whisk this up in a pint sized mason jar, but you could also use a blender, hand mixer or stick blender. Combine wet ingredients. In a small bowl (if mixing by hand) combine dry ingredients, then add to wet ingredients and whisk vigorously until well combined. If you like it thicker, add a little more xanthan gum (*a little goes a long way so be careful!). Store in the refrigerator.
- *I had a bit of trouble with the xanthan gum clumping when whisking by hand. I will try dissolving it in the vinegar first next time, or making it in the blender.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a Christian wife and mother of 2, stepmother to 3. I have cooked since I was very young and have fond memories of my Grandmother teaching me how to knead bread. Opening the cupboards and refrigerator to find 'there's nothing here to eat' is a challenge that I love - some of my best dishes were forged out of scarcity!
Recipes are guidelines for me, generally speaking. I almost always modify and experiment. My family loves my cooking and I love to cook for my family!
