A Good Oil & Vinegar Dressing With 2 Variations
{Serving suggestion only*)
Ingredients
1/2 c. oil
1/8 c wine vinegar
1 T. parmesan cheese
1/2 t. garlic salt
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1/2 t. Lawry's seasoned salt
juice of 1/2 lemon

(continued in the next column ↗️)

Variation 1:
Add 1 teaspoon of sugar - I call this Camper's Dressing. (Uncle Dave's father wrote this.)
Variation 2:
Add 1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
add some chopped anchovies and you have a "Near Caesar" to add to cold greens, croutons, and a coddled egg.
Simple and far better than any store-bought brand.

Directions
In jar or bowl, shake or stir all ingredients.
Always chill the greens and the salad bowl but not the dressing.
If you are serving continental style, serve the salad after the entrée to avoid a clash with the dinner wine.

Elevate your salads with this versatile Oil & Vinegar Dressing featuring the perfect balance of quality oil, wine vinegar, and savory seasonings. The Parmesan and fresh lemon juice add depth and brightness, while two clever variations transform it into either Camper's Dressing with a touch of sweetness, or Near Caesar" with mustard and anchovies. A homemade classic that outshines any store-bought option and complements everything from simple greens to hearty entrée salads."
