Speaking for myself, once busy cooking and preparing food, I do not want to have to leave the house for a missing ingredient. From there what can you do to save time? For our family, one thing I enjoy doing is finding new ways to prepare food using our basic pantry supplies. Having a selection of recipes that call for those same ingredients you already have in your pantry, is a real-time saver!
This Simple Sweet and Sour Salad Dressing is so easy to put together, so easy that you could assign this recipe to a young kitchen helper. Possibly you would use the micro-plane and chop the garlic, for less experienced helpers. But kids love to cook. Especially if they cook foods that they also enjoy eating. Starting with easy recipes like this one, you will be building on cooking skills while making sure your youngsters eat well too! And who knows how much time that will save you in future years...
Salads never need to be boring! Or try this Simple Sweet and Sour Salad Dressing over shredded cabbage and carrots for a no mayonnaise coleslaw dressing, tossing in a few slices of pickled jalapeno peppers and some chopped cilantro. Like I said, a salad never needs to be boring!
