Fresh, homemade salad dressings are so easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
This recipe started as a simple caramelized onion dressing (Adam loves a sweet vidalia dressing), but since we had roasted peppers in the fridge, we chose to add that as well.
This salad dressing is creamy, zesty and tangy, getting most of its flavor from onion, peppers, lemon juice, and some fresh herbs. Substitute your favorite herbs if you don't care for thyme or oregano -- rosemary, basil or dill would be fantastic!
Toss this in a salad, spread on a sandwich, or drizzle over some roasted vegetables! I love this dressing tossed with fresh spinach, healthy mix, avocado, apple, peach and mango.
