My mom is the one to thank for this refreshing salad dressing. She brought me a jar and when it was gone in a week, I asked for the recipe. This recipe is easy to tweak to make it your own. I added garlic, because, why not? And you can adjust the spices to your taste to make it your own.
Use it over your favorite salad or dip fresh veggies in it for a snack. See how long it lasts in your fridge.
Ingredients
- 1 medium red onion, rough chop
- 1 glove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sugar

- 1 / 2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon celery seed

- 1 / 3 cup vinegar
- 3/4 cup oil
Instructions

Notes
Alternative: If you don't have a blender or food processor: Finely mince the red onion. Whisk all ingredients together in a large bowl.

I just made this dressing. It came out much more pink than your picture, but color doesn’t matter when it tastes this YUMMY! It was a bit too sweet for me so I added a bit more salt and garlic. It’s just devine. Thank you so much for this recipe!
You’re so welcome – I’m glad you enjoyed it!
This looks like a delicious dressing for salad and even a super marinade for chicken, thanks for the recipe I will be trying it soon.
I love the idea of using it as a marinade – let me know how it turns out!
Is this white vinegar or cider vinegar?
I think either would work – I used white vinegar but I think cider vinegar would be a good substitute!
Found this on Pinterest and it sounds so nummy. I going to make a broccoli salad and am going to try it using mayo instead of oil.
Let me know how it turns out!
This dressing is AMAZING!! I love it. I made it with the mayo and red wine vinegar. I think the mustard gives it that little bit of oomph. Definitely a keeper!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It’s definitely a must-have in our fridge!
