DRESSINGS, SAUCES & CHUTNEY

FRENCH DRESSING

Ingredients:

3 Tsp Oil

1 tsp vinegar

1 Tsp Salt

a little dash of pepper

Method:

Combine all ingredients and beat well.

The easiest way I find is to use a screw top jar.

Put all ingredients into the jar and shake vigorously until blended.  A quick shake works just as well.

The dressing can be stored in the bottle and shaken as and when needed.
