I found this recipe from someone who shared it on Facebook. I contacted the author for permission but she never wrote back. I'm posting it and giving her credit. If she wants it removed, I'll remove it, until I hear otherwise it stays.

This salad dressing is our own family recipe. It's used in the bread salad (Fatoush) I've posted and it's delicious on any salad with chicken in it. Be warned though, it's not a good salad to have on a date! It's loaded with garlic!

Garlic Lemon and Mint dressing

Ingredients:

5 good sized cloves of garlic
good amount of dried mint in the palm of your hand
1 cup or so of Lemon juice (fresh squeezed is best)

With a mortar and pestle crush the garlic and mint together with a small drop or so of lemon juice (to keep things easy to manipulate) until it's all pulverized to a nice pulp.

Put this mash into a container and add the lemon juice. Cap it and give it a GOOD shake or two. Add more lemon juice if you like to dilute this some.

This keeps very well and the garlic does get stronger as it sits. You can add more lemon juice and mint to dilute the garlic if you want.

If you want to make it a full blown ready to use dressing simply add 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil to the bottle and shake well before serving.]]>

This is easy to prepare and keeps for several days in the refrigerator. I suggest using whole spices and herbs grinding them up as needed for this recipe. You'll get a bolder flavor out of them.

Vinaigrette Dressing

makes 1 1/2 cups dressing

1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp rosemary
1/4 tsp dry English mustard
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 fresh ground pepper
1 cup olive oil
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoonss water
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Place the dry ingredients in a blender and grind a few seconds. Add the liquids and blend until it becomes nice and thick.

Store in the refrigerator for at least 1 1/2 hours before using.]]>

You can make this thick (creamy style) or thin I have made it both ways. I have often quadrupled the recipe and stored it in ball jars in the fridge. Just put a small amount in a ramikin and nuke it warm for an individual salad.

This stuff is delicious on mixed greens, especially spinach and with 'dinner' salads where there is meat or eggs.

Hot Bacon Dressing

Ingredients:
6 slices bacon
1/2 cup sliced or diced onion
1/4 cup white wine vinegar (I've used red in the past in a pinch and it was fine)
1/4 cup water
4 teaspoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt (use sea salt!)
cornstarch if you want it thick *optional!

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown.
Remove from grease, cool, crumble and set aside.
Add onions to skillet with reserved grease and cook until tender. If there is way too much grease in here, you can remove some. Use your judgement!
Add bacon, vinegar, water, sugar and salt. Stir and bring to boil.
Now, what I do before adding the above I will deglaze the pan with a little cold water first. Oh my does that make some flavor!

Now if you want to thicken this up a bit, mix equal amounts of cornstarch and water in a cup, SLOWLY and in SMALL amounts at a time, add the mixture until it thickens.

BE CAREFUL how much you add! you don't want this like thick gravy but like creamy dressing! So do this literally a spoon at a time. If you stick to the original recipe and don't make extra, just put a couple drops at a time!
