I picked up this vintage salad book recently. My vintage cookbooks are generally for fun only but sometimes they have a recipe worth trying. I know that homemade salad dressing is so much better than those you find in stores...but I'm usually in too much of a hurry to whip up a salad dressing. This recipe from the book, however, seems like something I can remember (no need to search for a recipe). The exact words are:
Sometimes, awe guests by mixing dressing right
in the bowl before adding greens - twice as much
oil as vinegar (guess), smidgen of mustard, dash
of salt, freshly ground pepper.
I love a recipe that combines the words 'guess', 'smidgen', and 'dash'...not to mention the word 'awe'.
I think I'll give it a try, it sounds good!

a great recipe indeed! love all those fun words. :) We almost always make our own dressing. Just like this says, twice as much oil as vinegar (we use olive with basalmic and vegetable with apple cider) Then we just start pulling spices out and adding shakes of different things. Haven't had a bad one yet! :) Cheaper and better for you. Have fun! Kelly

Sounds good to me, too - and I also like the wording!
