American Salad Dressing Recipe
This salad dressing is referred to as “Western” in the USA so I really had trouble coming up with a name for the UK. Tangy Tomato with its alliteration makes it a fun title and accurately reflects the taste. Whatever you prefer to call it, is fine. It is a treat that makes your summer salads zing.
Tangy Tomato Salad Dressing Recipe
Tangy Tomato Salad Dressing is so simple to make – store cupboard ingredients that when combined produce something totally new. Our favourite use for this dressing is to accompany our Southern Fried Chicken in a simple salad of leaves, garden tomatoes and red peppers. Add cucumber and red onion if you wish. Tangy Tomato can also be a dip for fresh, raw vegetables. Store in sterilised leftover jam jars in the fridge.
