Time 5m

Yield 10 , 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons sugar, plus
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt, plus
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder, plus
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon Accent seasoning, plus
1 teaspoon Accent seasoning
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Put all ingredients in a blender and blend well. Serve with a chopped salad with your choice of ingredients (toss the salad with the dressing and don't just pour over the salad).
  • Suggestions for chopped salad: chopped mixed lettuces & baby spinach, carrots, tomatoes, artichoke hearts or garbanzo beans, cucumbers, red/green/yellow bell peppers, jicama, fresh basil or herbs of choice. Chop all ingredients in a uniform size (I use kitchen shears to chop the lettuces) and toss. You can do this ahead and assemble the salad at the last minute, having stored the ingredients in ziplock bags in the fridge. Toss with dressing immediately before serving.
