What I love about my weekends is that i can divert from my usual meal. I can sit prepare my salad all at once and place them in the fridge to pig out later. mmmmm Here's what i do to vary the dressing: Calamansi, lemon, dalanghita or combi are great. Squeeze directly and add Italian seasonings (dry). I love the aroma and the distinct taste. Apple cider vinegars plus Italian seasonings or chopped celery. If i ran out of apple cider vinegar, i use the cane vinegar in our kitchen. 3T of cane vinegar and 1T mascuvado sugar (to temper the sourness) plus the dried herbs. If i can't stand the cane vinegar and i have pickle relish in the fridge, I use the water of the pickle then add italian seasonings and/or chopped parsley or celery. I quit mayo. Those who love it, here's quick thousand islands -- 1:1 ratio for mayo and ketchup and Italian seasoning (dry) or chopped celery. For all dressings, white pepper and fine salt may be added to taste. Today I used the vinegar + mascuvado d...
