A dry seasoning mix shaken with vinegar, oil, chopped beet, Worcestershire and sweet pickle into a rosy-pink dressing. The dry mix can be bagged for gifts, with the fresh items packed separately.

Ingredients

Dry mix

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  • Dash ground red pepper
  • Dash pepper

Dressing

  • 1 package mix
  • 1/4 cup vinegar
  • 1 cup salad oil
  • 1 small cooked beet finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped sweet pickle

Directions

  • Put the dry seasonings in a small zip-top bag, close it, and shake until blended.
  • To make the dressing, place the mix, vinegar, oil, beet, Worcestershire, and pickle in a cruet or jar, then shake well.
  • Leave to stand for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Dry mix keeps about 6 months in a cool, dry cupboard. Refrigerate finished dressing in a covered container; use within 3 to 4 days. Gifting: label the dry mix bag with its directions; pack fresh ingredients separately, since the beet and pickle need refrigeration.
