[recipe] Dry Mix for Italian Dressing

[Guest guest]

I recently tried this recipe that was in my " to-try " file.

It came out really good. I used a suggested method of

pulsing the minced dried onion in my food processor

a bit first. Not so much that it was like onion powder,

but just enough to make the bits smaller.

 

There is another recipe for this dressing in my files,

but I haven't tried that yet. When I use up this batch that

will be next.

 

Italian Dressing Mix

 

1 Teaspoon dried minced onion

1 Tabsp dried parsley, crushed

1/4 Teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 Teasp crushed basil leaves

1/4 Teasp thyme or marjoram

1/2 Teaspoon celery seeds

1/4 Teaspoon garlic powder

2 Tabsp grated parmesan cheese

1 1/2 Teaspoons granulated sugar

1/8 Teaspoon salt

1/8 Teaspoon pepper

 

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl, stirring until evenly

distributed. Pour into a small container with a

tight-fitting lid or wrap airtight in heavy-duty foil. Seal container.

Label with date and contents. Store in a cool, dry place. Use

within 6 months. Makes 1 package or about 4 tablespoons Italian

Dressing Mix.

The heart's grown brutal from the fare;

More substance in our enmities

Than in our love.
