As a kid, I only would eat salad if it was dressed with my dad’s secret ingredient zesty salad dressing.
That’s because this dressing is light, allows the color of the vegetables shine through, yet adds the zip that raw vegetables need.

This dressing is great on crisp greens and as a “wilting” dressing for more tender greens like spinach, arugala, and leaf lettuces.
Dad recommends tasting and adjusting as you go, because tastes may vary.
