How to Make Salad Dressing Dry Mix

  1. In a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, dry mustard, paprika, pectin (if using), and sugar substitute.
  2. Secure the lid tightly and store the dry mix in a cool, dry place.
  3. (Yields approximately 1 cup of dry mix, 20 calories per teaspoon)
  4. **To make the salad dressing:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the dry mix, 2 tbsp vinegar, 1 tbsp water, and 2 tbsp oil until smooth and creamy.
  5. Refrigerate the dressing for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld (up to 3 days).
  6. In a large bowl, combine the chopped onion, celery, broccoli florets, tomato, squash, zucchini, and cucumbers.
  7. Pour 1/2 cup of the prepared dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat.
  8. Marinate the vegetables in the dressing in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for optimal flavor.
  9. Spread the lettuce over a large platter or serving bowl.
  10. Spoon the marinated vegetables over the lettuce and serve immediately.
