     1/2 tsp. dried ground mustard  (.5)
     1/4 tsp. paprika (.25)

Raw eggs can transmit salmonella.
Coddling the egg will eliminate the risk…It takes 2 mugs & ~2 minutes.
Coddling will cause the yolk to become slightly thickened and warm. (Eggs
could still be separated after coddling to use two whites or yolks instead
of the whole egg.)

To coddle an egg: Bring a very fresh egg to room temperature by placing it
in a mug and covering it w/ hot tap water.  Heat another mug of water in
the microwave until boiling.  Quickly  drain hot tap water from mug 1 & re-
cover egg with boiling water from mug 2.  Leave egg in boiling water for
exactly 1 minute…Use the timer feature on the microwave. Immediately run
cold tap water over egg to cool.  Proceed w/recipe.

I made this salad dressing without the tofu and it was quite good.
Didn't have sunflower seeds so I used almonds. It is similar to what
Green Goddess dressing used to be. Come to think of it, Green Goddess
would be good too, and would fit the criteria! This is one is quite
nice, and it came from

*Dressing*
3 TBS chopped fresh basil
3 medium cloves garlic, pressed
1 TBS prepared Dijon mustard
1 TBS honey
½ tsp salt
½ tsp cracked black pepper
4 TBS fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
4 oz silken tofu ( I left this out)
2 TBS extra virgin olive oil
*a little water to thin if needed

*Directions:*
1. Blend all dressing ingredients in blender adding oil a little at a
      time at end.
   2. Chop, rinse, and dry romaine and dandelion greens. If you have a
      salad spinner it is best. If not, pat rinsed greens with paper
      towels so dressing doesn’t get diluted.
   3. Toss greens with tomato and desired amount of dressing.

      *Serves 4*

*Healthy Cooking Tips:* Make sure you blend this dressing well so the
sunflower seeds are ground. Stop your blender and test for smoothness.
When the seeds are ground well they will make your dressing nice and
creamy.

 Tzatzsiki sauce is a Green dressing which is good with almost anything.
It is usually thicker than salad dressing but can be thinned out with milk
or yogurt to make a dressing.  It is very good.  If you have a Costco
nearby, they carry it in the deli section and that makes it easy to get
without having to make it.  It is pronounced (Tiziki)

I didn't know there were so many ways to make salad dressing.
