INGREDIENTS

  • 2 quarts lemon juice , bottled
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder (make sure it’s fresh!)
  • 3 cups onions , ground up (I use the food processor)
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 1 gallon canola oil

DIRECTIONS

  1. Split all ingredients in half (have them ready at hand) and make half a batch at a time.
  2. Pour the lemon juice and garlic powder in the Kitchen-aide mixing bowl and, with the wire whip attachement, blend on setting #2 until the powder is completely dissolved, (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add the onions (and any juice), cayenne pepper, sugar, and salt. Blend on setting #2 for at least 20 minutes. Gradually add the oil as it is blending and continue to mix for the full 20 minutes (30 is better).
  4. In a large container, mix the two batches of dressing together. Stir continually as you bottle the dressing in smaller containers.
  5. Refrigerate until use — always serve very cold on chilled salads.
