What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Cheerful Choices: Vidalia Onion Dressing! Have you ever loved the taste of a homemade salad dressing so much you wish it could be more? Well, consider this. Marinades are like a secret step to making meat taste flavorful and tender. By planning a little bit in advance, you can pour this dressing over chicken breasts to marinate one hour before grilling or baking. The dressing actually saturates the meat in a way that benefits the flavoring with a sweet onion taste. When everyone gathers around the table and raves about the extraordinary taste of ordinary chicken, just shrug your shoulders and say, “Its my grandma’s family secret.”
VIDALIA ONION DRESSING
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1 medium Vidalia onion, grated
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup vinegar
Jalapeño sliced, pickled
Instructions:
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, sea salt, dry mustard, and celery seed. Stir. Add grated Vidalia onion, vegetable oil, and vinegar. Heat until sugar is melted, stirring constantly. Add jalapeño slices. Cool and refrigerate for one hour. Serve as a dressing over toasted salad.
Interesting recipe. Probably a bit too sweet for me.
