When I was little, I loved bleu cheese salad dressing.\u00c2\u00a0 If ever given a choice, I would choose that.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t know why, especially because I find it rather revolting now (especially since it usually contains gluten).<\/p>\n
Most salad dressings are too thick, contain ingredients that make me sick, or are just unhealthy.\u00c2\u00a0 I have never been a “salad for a meal” type of person.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll throw down some steak and potatoes with no hesitation.\u00c2\u00a0 But in the summer I often have a craving for something lighter. What to do?<\/p>\n
The other day I noticed that my glass bottle of olive oil had about 1 cup of oil left in it.\u00c2\u00a0 I removed the plastic insert at the opening of the bottle, and added:<\/p>\n
1\/2 cup of lemon juice
\n1 tsp basil
\n1 tsp oregano
\n1\/8 tsp chili powder
\n1\/2 tsp salt
\n1\/8 tsp black pepper<\/p>\n
Then I shook it up. I now have homemade dressing that I keep in my fridge, and I love it. Do you have a particular kind of tea or flavor of tea that you really love?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When I was little, I loved bleu cheese salad dressing.\u00c2\u00a0 If ever given a choice, I would choose that.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t know why, especially because I find it rather revolting now (especially since it usually contains gluten).

\nOver the last few years, I’ve just picked up whatever Persian tea was easily accessible. My mother tends to mix her own tea, but I don’t have the skills for that. Recently I received some Anisa Tea<\/a> as a gift, and was stunned to taste something like the tea that is served in Haifa.\u00c2\u00a0 The one I like is the “Persian Tradition” blend, of course.<\/p>\n
