Hey, Knighton!

I thought about you the other day. I had THE most amazing salad dressing on the planet! And the kicker? I MADE it! Yay for me!!!

Yes, I know thats a lot of exclamation points, but I'm in the mood. Then again, I'm ALWAYS in the mood for exclamation points :) And, so, ...

Key Lime Dijon Vinagrette!

1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 Tablespoons Key Lime juice (Nelly and Joe's brand) (order it online if you have to)
2 Tablespoons Safflower oil (Spectrum brand, high heat) (Its a MUFA like olive oil)

Here's the trick: Mix all the ingredients EXCEPT THE OIL. Then whisk like crazy while you ultra-slow drizzle in the oil all the while whisking like crazy! (I mean it about the whisking or it won't come together and emulsify,)

I served it to my family. I loved it. My husband really liked it. The child that won't eat salad tried it and wanted more of it on his grilled chicken, and then flipped out that he had accidentially eaten SALAD dressing.

Really, its so good I could eat it with a spoon! A big spoon.

Yay! You're back. And that dressing sounds amazing, and I will be trying that sometime soon. I have a habit of adding cilantro to lime-based dressings, but the mustard is going to make this far more interesting. Yummy!
