Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
The salad dressing for this salad is really versatile. Grandma used this basic recipe for nearly all of her salad dressings and marinades. Sometimes she omitted the sugar and added 1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard. The result was a delicious vinaigrette. Sometimes she crushed and added a clove of garlic for a garlic mustard vinaigrette or marinade.
