Conveniently this is also perfect as a dip for carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower, so you may want to double the recipe...because it makes a delicious dunk for crispy vegetables. I have been guilty of serving too many salads in the past. I always thought of a salad as being the perfect way to get more vegetables into our meals. And of course, they are unless no one eats them...
More than once when cleaning up after dinner, the only thing left over from the meal, was salad. After a few repeats of this happening I realized that while the idea of more vegetables was great if we didn't eat them, it was the same as not serving them...right then and there, I knew I needed to shift my thinking in regards to salads. So I did. And we have eaten better because of it!
Any vegetable can be a "salad", whether it is tossed greens or not. Sometimes a small platter of sliced cucumbers and a dunk of some sort set out at mealtime is all it takes to get more vegetables into your meals. And for some reason, this Creamy Paprika Salad Dressing just works! Thick enough to be a dunk, mild enough that everyone loves it and the best part, it is made from basic pantry ingredients...
