Green Onion & Celery Salad Dressing Mix

This DIY salad dressing dry mix makes a very refreshing salad dressing.

You might be worried about how strong the concentrated green onion and celery powders are in this, but they’re actually very mild. In fact, after you’ve made it a few times, you may want to crank the amounts of those used up a bit.

This recipe uses:

• Celery powder
• Green onion powder
• Garlic powder
