A family secret.
A family tradition for over 60 years, this delicious salad dressing was created by my grandmother in San Antonio, Texas. Lillian, affectionately known as “Grandmoo,” was a true Texan with impeccable taste. A dinner salad was customary at every evening meal. As a 6 year old, I began eating salads of lettuce, tomato, celery and carrots drizzled with this special dressing. As far back as I can remember people have tried to guess the ingredients and request the recipe only to be told, “It’s a family secret.” The recipe remains a secret to this day, but now you can try the delicious dressing I have enjoyed almost my entire life.
