World's best salad dressing

as voted for in an unbiased contest with just my salad dressing entered and me as the judge - at least I'm more honest than Gov about it being fixed

• 3 parts olive oil/sunflower oil/rapeseed oil/garlic infused olive oil

• 1 part cider/white vinegar

• 1 part lemon juice (from a bottle is fine)

• 1 part Colman’s English mustard powder

• sugar

• fine ground sea salt

• fresh ground black pepper

Put all ingredients in a clean, small jar.

Put on lid and shake vigorously until well mixed and turning thick.

Check that it tastes good - your taste buds are different than mine so up to you but to make a good dressing, which is basically an emulsion, a ratio of 3 to 4 parts oil to 1 to 1.5 parts acid (vinegar) is best for the consistency.

The flavourings are up to you. Some dried green herbs such as thyme, basil, marjoram etc can be added if you want.

Good for putting on fresh green salads, dipping lettuce leaves/raw carrot/raw broccoli etc in.

Spread on some crusty bread instead of butter and make a beef sandwich is another good use.

Will keep in a fridge for quite a while.

Another us is for potato salad:

• heat through a tin of new potatoes or cook until just cooked some small new potatoes wth the skin on

• drain and put into a bowl

• while still hot add a few spoons of the salad dressing and mix well to coat all potatoes.

• leave to get cold

• stir again

• mix in your favourite mayonnaise to cover the potatoes well

• add some chopped spring onions/red onions for crunch

• serve with a steak and some fresh crusty bread
