AUNTIE ANN'S LIP SMACKIN' HOMEMADE FRENCH DRESSING - LONGMEADOW
Auntie Ann spent many years working as the Research Editor of the National Geographic in Washington D.C. She also had a beautiful house facing the water in St. Michaels, Maryland. Quite often she had gatherings of all sorts. From the Washington set, dressed up dignitaries and special guests would arrive for a nice Friday evening cocktail party that included a nice dinner afterward. During her weekends in St. Michaels, she could relax sitting comfortably on a wicker chair facing the Harris Creek watching the swans swim to and fro in the water. Even though Auntie Ann had a busy productive life as an editor and another busy life on the shore, her cooking skills were perfection. Often during a cocktail party she would mix up (the day prior) a good amount of this dressing and ever so lightly, and daintily spoon this over some fresh salad greens and toss. When she was getting ready to have the Labor Day crowd in for some good old "Maryland Blue Crabs" at her home on the shore, she would use this dressing in a simple pasta salad, that could be kept outside longer as it didn't have any mayonnaise or dairy in it to spoil. I use this now for "Saturday Lunch on the Farm" salad, which has become a huge bowl of all kinds of lettuces, fresh cut up vegetables and olives. Hey you can't go wrong with Auntie Ann can you? After all; life is good when partaking of a salad, isn't it? Can be easily halved.

Steps:
- Using a Mason jar, cruet, bowl, or blender put vinegar, salt, ground pepper, cloves, oregano,parsley, basil, rosemary, ground mustard and sugar or honey if using, in container.
- Mix thoroughly together. (I use a blender).
- Slowly mix oil in with the vinegar, herb mixture. This is where I use the blender as it makes the dressing a bit thicker.
- Sometimes though, if I am in a big hurry, I just use a Mason jar, and mix the oil in a little at a time and then shake vigorously.
- Serve as your "everyday" dressing.
- I leave this out on my counter for about two days (gets even more intense), or you can put it right into the refrigerator. Ours just doesn't last that long.

Steps:
- Peel the cucumbers and cut in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon scoop out the seeds and watery center from each half, forming a shallow groove down the center.
- Using a sharp paring knife, slice the cucumbers crosswise as thinly as possible, ideally about 1/8-inch thick, or use a mandolin to get even, thin slices.
- Place the cucumbers in a colander and sprinkle with the salt. Using clean hands, toss to combine the cucumbers with the salt and allow to stand, refrigerated, for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours.
- Using clean hands, squeeze handfuls of cucumber slices to release any excess liquid and transfer to a medium nonreactive bowl.
- In another medium a glass bowl, combine white vinegar, cider vinegar, and sugar, and Crazy salt. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers, adding onion slices, the chopped chives, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine, serve, or refrigerate up to 12 hours or overnight and serve cold, with a slotted spoon on the side.
- Oh boy!

HOME MADE FRENCH DRESSING
One of my grand kid's wanted some French Dressing to drizzle over some cottage cheese (not one of my favorites thing to do, but very popular in her home!) so I whipped up this recipe in about 2 minutes. This simple french salad dressing recipe is superb and very easy to make. French Dressing is made of ketchup, apple cider vinegar, sugar, onion, and oil. Her family loved it ...I made more for her sister to take home..

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in food processor or blender. Cover and blend until the onion is pureed and mixture is thick and smooth. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, stirring before serving if necessary. Makes about 3/4 cup dressing.
- My Note: I was pretty much out of ACV (as I am finding so many uses for it lately!) so I used some white wine vinegar instead and it's great although I would prefer to have used organic ACV for the health benefits.
- At times I used 1/2 canola oil and 1/2 olive oil, cut the worcestershire sauce to 1/2 tablespoon, and used 1/2 tablespoon onion powder instead of the fresh onion. I also used distilled white vinager.
