I am kinda like BenLurkin. I have a tendency to just throw stuff together using whatever I have on hand. Today for example, I just really got a hankering for a chef salad with Russian Dressing.

I only get this craving once in a blue moon, and no one else really likes Russian Dressing, so I don't stock it. Several months back, I pitched about half a bottle, because it was soooooooo old and kinda scuzzy looking.

I also resolved not to buy anymore since it is obviously a waste of money, and I don't really like any of the store brands that much anyhow.

So here's my recipe for a single serving of Russian Dressing

Squirt some ketchup into container about the size of a Silver Dollar.

3 or 4 dashes of Worcestershire Sauce
2 shakes of powdered green onion
2 shakes of powdered garlic
6 shakes of powdered paprika
3 or 4 shakes of ground black pepper
1 tsp raw sugar
3 or 4 squirts of lemon juice.
1 or 2 dashes of Apple Cider Vinegar
1 pinch of salt
Olive Oil - 1 Tbls more or less till the right consistency is reached for your taste.

Whisk it all together, and let sit a bit to make sure the flavors blend and the sugar is dissolved. Make sure to have plenty of tomatoes on your salad too. This would be better with fresh grated onion and fresh minced garlic.

Now you understand my predicament? This is the way my Granny cooked, and the way I learned. I never know how to answer the question “How much” unless it's a recipe from a cookbook or something. My own creations just don't readily translate to the written word.

Have a great weekend everyone. God Bless.

That looks so much better than store-bought!

You have a "reindeer" method for cooking..all dashes, and shakes and pinches and squirts..

Very appropriate for Christamas..
