So we couldn’t, in good conscience, only post sweets leading up to Christmas! Actually, we don’t really feel that badly about our coma-inducing barrage of goodies, but this two-part recipe is so festive, fun, and delicious that we couldn’t leave it out. It’s perfect for a fancy Christmas Eve dinner or a neighborhood potluck, a great accompaniment to a ham, or topped with grilled chicken breast for a meal at home with your family.
What is this magical mystery? It’s a yummy salad, sweet, savory, and crunchy, full of all sorts of amazing flavors that blend together perfectly. And a huge part of that is the dressing, which may just be my favorite salad dressing ever. Of all the dressings of all the world. Whether or not I make the whole salad, I love to keep this dressing whipped up in the refrigerator to use on everything. Like, say, a leaf of lettuce I tear off and dip in the dressing just so I don’t have to resort to licking the spoon. It’s that good. And the best part? I’m willing to bet if you don’t already have the ingredients in your cupboard, they’re on your shopping list.
In a blender, combine vinegar, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper. Place lid on blender and blend on high. While blender is running, add oil in a steady stream. Store in refrigerator for about 2-3 weeks. Shake well before serving.
Look at that gorgeous blush color! Yum!
Questions & Reviews
This is my absolute favorite salad dressing, thanks for sharing it! I can’t wait to make it again for Thanksgiving next week.
Yep- absolutely!
Quick question– (and please forgive me for this one) but can sugar be substituted for the honey? No matter what a minuscule amount a recipe calls for, I feel like it’s the only thing I ever taste!
We LOVE this dressing and salad. Great for holidays for the whole family!!
This is my new favorite dressing! Try it, you won’t be disappointed!
possibly silly question….does it store for up to 2-3 weeks or refridgerate for 2-3 weeks before using?
Did you ever get an answer to this? Wondering the same haha!
Store for up to 2-3 weeks. 🙂
I have been looking for a salad dressing bottle just like the one you show the dressing in. If you know where I can buy one, please let me know.
Walmart- $2 🙂
This looks great! I’m going to make it tomorrow to put over your Candied Walnut Salad for an Easter celebration with my family. Can you substitute another kind of oil for the canola oil? (i.e. vegetable oil or olive oil?)
I just want to thank you for posting this recipe! It has become my go-to recipe and is our ultimate favorite. I’ve thrown out all of our bottled dressings because I just make my own now. 🙂
We used this as a dressing for coleslaw and it was amazing! Thanks!
