Easy Dressing Recipe
This recipe is from several years ago when I first started blogging but it’s still a favorite. Enjoy!
I thought I’d share with you today my recipe for homemade salad dressing. I love this stuff. It’s a little vague but I adjust according to how I want it to taste.
Easy Dressing Recipe
- About 1 cup Oil (can be vegetable oil or olive oil)
- About 1/4 cup vinegar (can be white or apple cider)
- 1/4 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic salt
Since this is all based on tastes you may want it to taste more like oil or more like vinegar by adjusting the amounts. Yummy!

Update to the recipe:
As I mentioned above…it’s been several years since I posted this recipe originally here on Little House Living, it was 2009 in fact! Really the only difference in how I made it then compared to how we make it now is that I use a regular extra virgin olive oil for the oil in the recipe and I generally do about 2/3 cup of oil and 1/3 cup of vinegar (and I use a raw apple cider vinegar) since I like a little zip to my dressing!
Olive Oil is a great way to get healthy fats into your diet, especially when it’s left unheated. Since we’ve been trying to do this more and have been eating quite a bit of salad, I love using a good quality extra virgin olive oil in my homemade dressings.
What is your favorite easy dressing recipe to make?
You comment that your dehydrator is running all the time. What are you all drying? I am relatively new to this and am having some problems grasping how much to be storing, how much to store. What do you dry? Thanks
Our favorite is drying fruits for snacks! I’m not much of a plain fruit eater but I will eat just about any fruit dried, I think it’s the texture or something! So that’s the most of it:)
Great recipe! I don’t usually go through the effort of measuring or mixing together the ingredients. I keep a bottle of olive oil and a bottle of pomegranite infused red wine vinegar on the shelf. I just add a little olive oil directly to my salad, then sprinkle the red wine vinegar over it, to taste. Sometime I will grind a little sea salt and black pepper on top.

That sounds really nice, although being a serious garlic lover, I would probably blend and add some garlic(or crush it and let it sit at the bottom, and eat later!) and some oregano.
Fanx for all your delightful recipes and advice! Stay well.
Well I followed it to a T. It was horrible. Even tried adding a bit of raw sugar. Still horrible..Don’t get it.
My fiance loves this dressing :). Can’t wait to try it updated
