This is my variant of a favorite salad dressing served at the Manhattan Beach Brewing Company (now called BrewCo). They serve it tossed on a salad with lettuce, kolkata olives, onions, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, and onions garnished with sliced grilled chicken breast and toasted sliced almonds.

Ingredients

• 1/8 t garlic powder
• 1/8 t white pepper
• 1/4 t salt
• 2 T green Tabasco
• 1/2 C lime juice – fresh, not bottled
• 1/2 C simple syrup – see below
• 1/4 C vegetable oil  – corn or safflower – not olive
• 1/8 t sesame oil (optional)

Equipment

• (optional) bottle to store dressing in

Instructions

Combine ingredients and stir.

Can be kept refrigerated in a closed bottle indefinitely.

For the simple syrup:

• 1 C water
• 1 C white table sugar
• 1/8 t cream of tartar or a few drops of lemon or lime juice

Combine all ingredients in a pan and bring to a boil while stirring. Boil until the mixture turns from cloudy/grainy to clear and smooth. Cool before using.
