Now that I have used up an entire roll of Scotch tape wrapping gifts for various showers and have tended to my multiple wrapping paper cuts, I can sit back and share with you “The Best Salad Dressing Ever” (imagine an echo with those words).

Now, I have talked about recipes as suggestions. I want to amend that as a recipe as a starting block. In my Real Simple magazine, I found the following recipe:
Balsamic Vinaigrette

1/3 cup olive oil
3 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard

Well it was too much oil and the mustard didn’t quite have a kick, so I began to play.
This is the recipe in its most current state:

1/4 cup Olive Oil
3 heaping Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 heaping Tbsp Horseradish Mustard
A generous sprinkling of garlic powder (1/4 tsp?)

It’s good now. I will keep you posted as Manatee and I continue to experiment with it.

Earlier in the process, he gave me the ultimate compliment: it was even better than salsa.

Trust me. This is a big deal.
