Thisclose to East Side Mario's Salad Dressing

When we lived in Ontario and Nova Scotia, we'd go to East Side Mario's two to three times per month, mostly for the free salad and bread. I LOVE their dressing, and since we moved to Manitoba, I have been looking for a copycat of that dressing. This is pretty close. I found the basic recipe on another site, and modified it slightly

• Ready In: 5 mins
• Yields: 2 cups

Ingredients

• 1  cup  vegetable oil (Olive is a little too strong)
• 1⁄2 cup white vinegar
• 1⁄2 cup lemon juice
• 2  teaspoons sugar
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
• 1⁄2 teaspoon oregano, crushed
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄8 teaspoon thyme

Directions

1. Combine all in a measuring cup, and mix with an immersion blender.
2. Pour into a container and refrigerate.
3. The longer it sits, the better it gets.
4. Prep time is cooking time.
5. To make this truly authentic, make the salad with iceberg lettuce, rounds of red onion, hot pickled peppers (we don't like them, but the salad comes with two), croutons and oodles of grated parm cheese- the fresh stuff, not out of a can.
