This simple dressing is wonderful as is, especially on a simple green salad, but it also makes a fantastic starting point for more elaborate dressings. A few squirts of it on sizzling hot chicken or fish will give it a boost of flavor. It keeps for at least ten days refrigerated, longer if you use garlic powder instead of garlic. If some remains after that, you can use it to marinate chicken or shrimp. Celery salt, onion salt, or lemon pepper adds more interest.
