digest#288: vegan ingredients (dressing mix)

[Guest guest]

Linda, i confess the Italian dressing mix i use is

one i make myself; guess i should have mentioned

it in the post.

Here is my recipe:

 

1/8 cup sucanat or sugar

1 1/2 tsp. celery seed

1 tsp. dry mustard

3/4 tsp. sea salt

1/4 tsp. onion powder

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. Italian seasoning

*optional* 1/4 tsp. dried basil

 

~ Mix all ingredients together in a small dish and store

in a foil packet in a cool dry place for up to 6 months.

To make basic Italian Dressing, just mix contents of packet

with 3/4 cup olive oil with 1/4 cup vinegar [your choice].

Those store brand dressing mixes are expensive and they

are also not as fresh tasting as my homemade herb blends;

also as you mentioned, we cannot know for sure what

the natural flavorings are.

are less concerned with being normal and more concerned

with being natural.
