This is my favourite salad dressing recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 egg
• 1 tsp mustard
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp celery seeds
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 or 3 cloves of garlic
• 3 tbsp vinegar
• 1 cup oil

Put egg, mustard, salt, celery seeds, honey, garlic, vinegar and 1/2 cup of oil in a blender.

Blend until smooth, then gradually add the remaining oil.

I use a hand blender to do this and it works just as well.
