A Good Salad Dressing Recipe

I thought I'd share with you a favorite and easy to make salad dressing recipe that is really good on coleslaw or salads.   A full recipe makes a lot, but it keeps well in a jar in the fridge.  I usually make just half a recipe, which seems to be plenty for a few days of salads.  It's not exactly low cal, but a little goes a long way.  It is especially good on cabbage or pasta salads, but I also think it's great on spinach salads.  My garden produced a lot of spinach this year, so I've been eating this on spinach salads for the past few days.

Sweet Sour Onion Dressing

2/3 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 small onion, cut up (or half a medium onion, use your judgement and taste)
1/3 c. vinegar (red or white, but I prefer white)
1 c. salad oil (I like to use Crisco oil)
1 T. celery seed
1 tsp. dry mustard powder (optional, sometimes I don't use this)

Put all ingredients in a blender and whirl away for a minute.   Store in a glass jar.  When you want to use it, just shake it up.
