French Dressing Spice Mix

July 9, 2014

French Dressing Spice Mix

This is a simple spice mix that is great on meats and vegetables. Mix it with lemon juice and oil to make French Dressing.

Personally, I am not a huge fan of french dressing. My daughter found my French Dressing Spice Mix in the cupboard while looking for spices to season her chicken with. She smelled it and asked if she could try it. “Sure,” I said. It was “Mmmm…” as she put it.

I started trying it on all kinds of things. Beef, fish, potatoes, just to name a few. All delicious. I will share some recipes later. Give it a try, tell me what you think.

Ingredients for French Dressing Spice Mix:

6 tablespoons paprika

6 tablespoons ground mustard seed

4 tablespoons garlic powder

5 tablespoons sea salt

3 tablespoons black pepper

Instructions for French Dressing Spice Mix:

Place all ingredients in a pint-sized mason jar (large mouth is best), replace lid tightly, and shake until well combined. This recipe makes 1 1/2 cups. Store in cool dark place for up to three months.

If you are a fan of French Salad Dressing, here is how to make it

 French Dressing:

Add 1 teaspoon of French Dressing Spice Mix to 5 tablespoons of olive oil,  almond oil, or macadamia nut oil (choose your favorite) and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice in a small jar, replace lid, and shake until well combined. This makes about 1/2 cup of dressing.

Shake again before serving. Pour over your favorite tossed salad.
