That sounds good…hmmmmmm…
I am a salad eater and these look great. I am most certain going to make the lemon herb dressing!
I just love salads too. I love one with supper. Goddess, could you please give us the amounts for the dressing? How much of everything?
My mouth is watering.
To be honest, I just add stuff without measuring. You know those Italian salad dressing containers, to make your own? I use that. Or not, because I just checked my cabinets and it appears the thing is in storage.
Okay, start off with a 1/4 cup of olive oil, a couple tablespoons vinegar, a teaspoon or two of lemon juice, and everything else to taste. If I had the ingredients, I’d do it real quick, but I don’t! Sorry! : (
LOL, thanks, that’s close enough. Just to give me an idea. I’ve never made my own dressing before so I had NO idea.
This really looks good. I just love a salad for lunch and this will be a nice change. The dressing really sounds good. Thanks Goddess Anna.
