Celery Seed Dressing

In seventh grade Home Ec class (yes that’s what they called it in 1974), we had a unit on making salads and dressings. I was duly impressed when they sent us home with a booklet of additional recipes we could try. Over the years, my dad made a couple of modifications to make this recipe healthier, and the updated recipe still gets used at both of our houses to this day. Try it on fruit salad or with vegetables and mixed greens. Use it instead of mayonnaise in tuna salad.

½ cup sugar
2 Tablespoons Trade Winds Spice Company Celery Seed
½ - 1 teaspoon Trade Winds Spice Company Sea Salt (optional)
2 teaspoons Trade Winds Spice Company Mustard Flour
¼ cup onion, roughly chopped
2/3 cup vinegar (try Martin Pouret White Wine; BR Cohn Chardonnay or BR Cohn White Balsamic vinegars for extra flavor)
2 cups extra virgin olive oil

Pour vinegar into a blender container. Add sugar, celery seed, sea salt (optional), mustard flour and onion. Cover blender and blend to thoroughly mix ingredients. Remove center of blender cover. While blender is running, slowly add oil in a thin stream.

Refrigerate until ready to use. Dressing will separate, so shake before using.
Makes 3cups
Note: To decrease the recipe size, decrease everything except the onions by one-half. Leave the onions at ¼ cup.
