So I haven’t bought a vegetables in a couple weeks. The good news is, I recently inherited a head of lettuce and an apple. I also had eggs and some cheese (because rarely do I forget to buy cheese). I made a big ‘ole salad but didn’t have any salad dressing. So I mixed the following:
- A biggish splash of olive oil (about a 1/4 cup)
- A long squirt of lemon juice until I got bored (about a 1/4 of what I put in for olive oil)
- Seasoning. I chopped up a clove of garlic real small and put in some random seasoning that smelled appropriate for the occasion. Typically I would just go for salt and pepper, but that is on the grocery list for September (along with vegetables).

The phrase, “I inherited a head of lettuce and apple”, makes me chuckle. It’s funny to imagine some great-great-great aunt’s will saying, “To Jordan, I bequeath one (1) head of lettuce and one (1) apple”.

Also, I appreciate “long squirt of lemon until I got bored” because that is me every time I cook with lemons!

Jordan, I’m glad our philosophies on making salad dressing are about the same :). I generally also add “some vinegar – pour until it starts to smell overpowering and then stop”
