52 Week Food Storage Plan: Week #40

For the 40th week (Oct 4 - Oct 10)

Week # 40: 3 Quarts of Salad Dressing = at the very least 96 oz (12 bottles of 8oz) or however much you think you’ll need.
(If you can’t accomplish this in 1 week, don’t worry, just take your time and do it in steps.)

Salad Dressing:
Salad dressing is a sauce typically poured over salads such as: green salads; vegetable salads; salads of pasta, legumes, or grains; mixed salads incorporating meat, poultry, or seafood; and fruit salads. Salads can include a mixture of cold or hot foods, often including raw vegetables and/or fruits. Salad dressing can also be used as a marinade for your meat and even a dipping sauce. So don’t think of salad dressing as just something to pour over your lettuce. It’s so much more than that!

Storage:
Salad dressing comes in 8oz, 16oz, larger or smaller sizes. If you like s certain kind of dressing get more of it. If you’re getting something to try just get what you think you’ll need. Italian dressing is one which is useful for marinading as well as a great ingredient for adding to your crock pot chicken. Try it! Not to mention your standard salads. Store your “commercial” dressing as usual, in a cool dark place and always use by the expiration on the bottle. Usually 12 months depending on the dressing. You’ll find salad dressing so easy to use and yummy, you’ll want to get lots of them. (Wow! I sound like a salad dressing sales person. LOL)

Remember this isn’t something you store for 30 years, this is something you rotate through yearly. It’s easy to rotate salad dressing because you can use it in so many ways and quick.
