Homemade Greek Dressing

One of the easiest things to make homemade, in my opinion, is salad dressings. And they taste so much better then store bought. My husband likes to tweek recipes so this is his final recipe. It is SOOOO GOOD!

-2 fresh garlic cloves minced
-1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (we use Grey Poupon)
-1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (we use BJ's brand)
-2 Tablespoons of fresh lemon juice (not bottled)
-1/2 teaspoon of sugar
-3 Tablespoons of red wine vinegar (My FIL makes it and it is STRONG)
-2 Tablespoons of white vinegar
-1/2 teaspoon of crushed dried basil (I grow a ton in the summer and dry it)
-1/4 teaspoon of oregano

Whisk all the ingredients together and let it sit at least 15 minutes. Shake well before pouring. Enjoy!




*I am on a low sodium diet so we do not add salt. If you would like to, then I recommend 1/4 teaspoon.

We have a wheel barrel and a garden wagon that can dump. 4 shovels in hand and off we went.  We had several trees taken down a few years ago. Then 2 years ago we had the driveway done. Last year we had the siding on the house done. Time to fix the lawn. We have lots of dips in the front and back yard from all of the work. I am a little clumsy and have fallen several times in them. We were able to level out the front yard and fill in the holes in the back yard. The back yard has a large hill so it will never be level but it is more of a gentle slope now. Some places didn't get dirt because they didn't need it.  We ordered pizza since I was too tired to cook. After dinner Hubby spread grass seed everywhere. Today it is raining lightly.  It was hard work but we got it done and h
