Mom's Simple Salad Dressing

This is the most versatile salad dressing I have ever experienced. With only 4 basic ingredients that are found in most kitchens,  it can be made minutes before the salad is served, with hardly any preparation, and it tastes amazing with most combinations of fruits and veggies!

Ingredients:

• Olive oil 
• Vinegar (red wine, white wine, apple cider or balsamic)
• Mustard (honey, dijon, or french)
• salt and pepper

In the photo I combined the oil with red wine vinegar and honey mustard. Take the time to experiment with different combinations of vinegar and mustard. It is also good to add some lemon juice to some of the combinations too (especially with balsamic vinegar and dijon mustard, the way my mom makes it).

For dinner I made an omelette with broccoli, kalamata olives, feta and fresh basil.

Then with the dressing I made a side salad with feta, cucumber, tomato, and more fresh basil. Yummy!!! 

This meal is packed full of disease-fighting foods,including broccoli and tomatoes which are known for preventing cancer through antioxidants, basil which also contains antioxidants and is good for the skin, eggs which are an excellent source of vegetarian protein, and olives, which prevent bone loss and cancer.
