Garlic Whiz-Bang Salad Dressing Recipe in a Mason Jar

Yield: about 2 cups

A bold, tangy, slightly sweet dressing with a peppery kick; mixed right in the jar for easy shaking, pouring, and storing. This recipe comes from our friend Jeff McCullor of Erie Ale Works.

*Fun fact: the original reCAP POUR lid was invented by Karen while searching for a mess-free way to store and pour homemade salad dressing straight from a mason jar.

Ingredients: 

  • 1 cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 4 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

How to make it:

  1. Add all ingredients to a pint-sized Mason jar.
  2. Seal tightly.
  3. Shake vigorously until fully combined.
  4. Refrigerate about 2 hours before serving to let the flavors blend.

*Tips: Shake before each use since natural ingredients separate over time, and adjust sweetness or acidity with a little more brown sugar or vinegar. Also great on pita sandwiches, grain bowls, grilled chicken, and roasted vegetables. Keeps refrigerated up to 1 week.
