Celery Seed Salad Dressing

Celery Seed Salad Dressing

This recipe is the famous Celery Seed Dressing from the former Charter House Restaurant in Bellevue Ohio. Unless you are needing 0ne and one-half quarts of dressing, divide this recipe by halves or fourths. Also the dressing tends to be a little sweet. Adjust the sugar to your taste. I use 2 cups sugar for the full recipe. Yield 6 cups

I have divided the 2nd recipe for a 12 ounce recipe  (1 1/2 cups)

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons paprika*
3 tablespoons dry mustard
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups vinegar

1/2 cup water
4 1/2 cups salad oil
2 tablespoons celery seed

Directions: 

Place ingredients in blender ot Vita-Mix reserving celery seed. Blend on high speed until well blended: add celery seed and place in container,  Refrigerate.

*Can be made without the paprika. Tasty on a vegetable or fruit salad.
