theresa and grace’s sweet dressing recipe

The kid’s activities have taken over so I have been making quick dinners in order to at least try to all eat together. Grilled cheese, pizza, and rotisserie chicken have all been on the menu – but my favorite right now is to grill chicken and a big salad. The boys tend to just want the chicken and some fruit, but the girls, we are getting creative thinking of lots of fun things to put into a salad.

The salads have inspired dressing experiments as well – a few of which turned out really yummy. Also, my Mom was telling me that her Nana used to make homemade dressing, shake it up in a mason jar, and keep it in the refrigerator. I loved finding another use for my many mason jars – so that sounded fantastic to me.

This particular dressing is terrific with chicken, spring greens, dried cranberries, and red onion.

Theresa & Grace’s Sweet Dressing

½ T Honey

1 T Dijon Mustard

2 T Raspberry Vinegar

¼ Cup Canola oil

Salt and pepper

We layered all the above ingredients in a jar and gave it a good shake. It took two minutes to prepare and made the home version of fast food dinner seem a little more special.
