Ingredients


oil 1 cup
catsup 1/3 cup
sugar 1 tsp
lemon 1 juiced
white distilled vinegar 1/4 cup
onion 1 oz grated
garlic clove 1/4 diced
salt 1 tsp
paprika 1 tsp

Directions

  1. In a large bowl combine the following ingredients in the following order: oil, catsup, sugar, lemon juice, vinegar, grated onion, diced garlic, salt, paprika, and dry mustard.
  2. Whisk the ingredients together until you get a smooth red dressing. Allow the dressing to sit for 10 to 15 minutes so the flavors can combine.
  3. In a large salad bowl place the chopped lettuce.
  4. Top the lettuce with the bell pepper, sliced cherry tomatoes, Mandarin orange slices, and sliced red onion.
  5. 5 minutes before you are ready to serve drizzle the salad dressing over the vegetables and toss gently.


Notes

Remember that the lettuce will become soggy with the dressing. So add the dressing right before serving.
