Greek Dressing

Food
Breakfast:  Umm...I skipped breakfast this morning!  You shouldn't do that, though.  I'm not typically a breakfast kind of girl, but I'm trying to remedy that.
Lunch: 3 oz. oven roasted turkey deli meat (Costco's Kirkland brand) tossed with 3 cups fresh spinach leaves.  I added my favorite Greek dressing (recipe below) to complete the salad.
Snack: 2 hard-boiled eggs, 8 macadamia nuts (I think I kind of overdid it with the nuts.  You should probably only have half that amount), and 2 clementines.
Dinner: 3 oz rotisserie chicken (skin removed) sauteed with 3 cups frozen broccoli and 1 avocado (cubed) in 1TBSP of coconut oil.
Water
3 liters!

I'll keep this real post nice and somewhat short for you.  Here's my favorite Greek dressing recipe.  I use this dressing on EVERYTHING! I mean, seriously.  I put it on salads, or mix it in with vegetables, or use it to dress up some chicken.  It's delicious.  The original recipe from Allrecipes.com was from a waitress at a pizzeria, and because of that, the original recipe makes 120 servings, which is about 1 gallon.  I scaled it down to about 20 servings.

Absolutely Fabulous Greek Dressing
1 cup olive oil
2 3/4 teaspoons garlic powder
2 3/4 teaspoons dried oregano
2 3/4 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons pepper
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
1 1/3 cups red wine vinegar

Mix together all ingredients in a container (I prefer a squeeze bottle or two) and shake vigorously until all ingredients are combined.



It's that easy! That's my squeeze bottle with the tiny bit of dressing left in it; I guess I need to make some more pretty quickly.
