AVOCADO DRESSING

Steps:

• Combine the avocado, water, olive oil, lemon juice, dill, garlic, salt, and several grinds of fresh pepper in a blender. Blend until creamy, then transfer to a jar.
• If the dressing is too thick, stir in a little more water to reach a drizzelable consistency, if desired.

EDDIE JACKSON'S MASON JAR SALAD AND SALAD DRESSING

Steps:

• For Eddie's salad dressing: Put the parsley, olive oil, vinegar, honey, basil, oregano, tarragon, garlic and some salt and pepper in a food processor and puree until smooth.
• For the mason jar salad: Start by placing 1 to 2 tablespoons of the salad dressing (or any amount you desire) in the bottom of a 16-ounce mason jar. Next, build the salad by placing the proteins--the chicken and garbanzo beans--in the jar first. After that, layer the remaining ingredients in the jar (try color coordinating for presentation): the red onion, zucchini, carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, pumpkin seeds and feta. Finish by packing the lettuce and kale on top. Seal and refrigerate.
• To serve, flip over on a bowl or plate, mix everything together and dig in.

EASY SALAD DRESSING

Steps:

• Spoon the mustard into a bowl and slowly whisk in the oil with a small whisk. Gradually add the vinegar and 1 tsp of water to make a creamy looking dressing. Season with the sugar and a generous pinch of salt. Will keep in a sealed jar for up to a month, but must be whisked again before serving.
