Mason Jar Salad Dressing

I love to make my own salad dressing.  It's always fresh and there's no need for extra fat and oil.  Here's a way to mix up your own dressing all in one jar....no need to dirty extra dishes!

Greek Dressing

• 4 tbl lemon juice
• 4 tbl red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp basil
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Creamy Ranch Dressing

• 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
• 1/3 cup buttermilk

For all these dressings, place all ingredients into the mason jar and place lid on tight.  Shake until all ingredients are incorporated.  Store in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
