Horseradish Black Pepper Vinaigrette

This is literally the best salad dressing ever. How do I know? I Googled "best salad dressing ever" and came up with a bunch of insipid, lame-as-shit recipes written by people with poor grammar and weird taste. And we all know that The Google don't lie. So this is therefore the best salad dressing ever. Airtight logic. Case closed.

Don't believe me? Go ahead and fix up a batch. Send me an angry email* if you don't like it.

*All angry emails will be ignored.

Prep time: 1/4 cocktail

1 TBSP prepared, hot horseradish

2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper

1 TBSP white or cider vinegar

2 TBSP olive oil

1 tsp Dijon mustard

2 tsp light agave nectar

1 tsp soy sauce

Poppy seeds, dill, or sesame seeds (all optional)

Combine everything into a small jar with an airtight lid. Seal and shake until everything is well mixed. Dressing is ready!

Try putting that in your Vita Mix. That way you can use whole peppercorns and other larger objects, like whole olives and whatever else you want to liquify.

Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.

When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.

There's nothing like good food, good wine, and a bad girl.
