This past week we were invited to a birthday party and asked to bring a salad. I started skimming through my recipe book and ran across this one. Remembering how amazing it was, this is what I chose. It got rave reviews at the party and I loved it more than I even remembered so I had to share it. Thanks for the recipe Shandell!
Dressing:
¾ c. sugar
½ tsp. salt
1/3 c. cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. fresh onion juice
1 c. oil
1 ½ Tbsp. poppy seeds
Salad:
1 bag or 1 head torn Romaine lettuce
1 lb. bow tie pasta
1 jar artichoke hearts in juice
1 can large olives
1 tomato
1 jar baby corn, optional
fresh mushrooms, optional
Combine sugar, mustard, salt, vinegar and onion juice. Beat in oil. Slowly beat in poppy seeds. Cook pasta according to directions on package, drain and let cool. Add all ingredients in a bowl. Add dressing right before serving.
Tips from Shandell:
*Make the dressing the night before, allowing the flavors to mix together, and it tastes a lot better.
*Always use fresh onion juice; it does not taste the same without it. To make onion juice, grate an onion on the smallest side of a grater.
*Add a little bit of the dressing to the pasta while cooling to prevent it from sticking together.

Where in the world would you get onion juice from? Does it come in a jar like lemon juice? Salad sounds delicous though!

I can't get into your blog to answer your question, so hopefully you check here. In the notes at the bottom, it tells you to grate an onion on the smallest side of the grater. That is what I did and it worked perfect! Add me to your private blog :)
Oh YUM!! I can't wait to try this. Just curious...how much onion did you have to grate?
Sounds wonderful - I am definately going to try it.

Not very much at all. Probably 1/4 of an onion.
