Buttermilk Garlic Salad Dressing

On Friday, we had a bit of a dinner-party. DapperDan had his best friend over for dinner. I'll tell ya what- this dinner was fully homemade! The only thing I didn't do was catch the salmon and grow the veggies. Darn.. if I only had. That would officially make me the coolest person in America. Oh well.

It was delicious and so light! And because it's homemade, it is so much healthier for you!

.....DapperDanMan even ate the salad, and took seconds!!! (I suppose you'd have to know my husband to know how paramount that is).

Here you go, the first dish of my fully homemade Friday night! (No semi-homemade nonsense here..although, I do love Sandra!)


Buttermilk Garlic Salad Dressing

Adapted from: A Veggie Venture

1/2 tsp dry mustard powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Combine in a blender. Will keep for a week or more.
