I really dont like vegetables that much unless they have tons of butter on them. So I started trying to make salads. I would go to the grocery store, pick out the lettuce, carrots....and that was it! I really dont like vegetables. I also dont like a lot of the bottled salad dressings that you find at the grocery store. The only salad dressing I really seem to enjoy is balsamic dressing from restaurants. However, I can never seem to find one that comes close to it in the store. Thankfully my mother came to stay with me in my last week of pregnancy and made me some. And it was really good! Here is the recipe. I suggest making a whole batch of it to store in the fridge so that making a salad is alot easier of a choice than choosing to have a snack such as a bagel bite..(I love those things!)
By the way, I love this dressing with spinach, shaved almonds, feta or blue cheese and craisins (Yes! craisins! They are dried cranberry's that are like raisins).
# 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
# 2 teaspoons dark brown sugar, optional*
# 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
# 1/2 teaspoon salt
# 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
# 3/4 cup olive oil
