I thought I'd share a simple but wonderful homemade Italian Salad Dressing mix that I make for my wife and myself. Since it has no relation to KFC, I figured I'd post it here.
Combine in a sealable/shakeable container:
1 TBSP + 1 TSP Dried Red and Green Bell Pepper Flakes
1 TBSP Common Granulated Table Sugar
1 TSP Garlic Powder
1 TSP Onion Powder
1/16 TSP MSG
1/16 TSP Xanthan Gum Powder
2 TBSP Water
1/4 Cup + 1 TBSP Ordinary Distilled White Vinegar (5% Acetic Acid in strength)
Combine all of the above, cap (seal), and shake the container vigorously such that the Xanthan Gum is well dispersed and doesn't clump up, then lastly add:
1/3 Cup Olive Oil, +
1/3 Cup Saflower, (or) Sunflower, (or) Canola Oil (for 2/3 cups of total Oil)
Shake well again, and store in the Refrigerator overnight, then enjoy sprinkled over Salads. If it stays mixed and does not get overly thick with the passage of time, the Xanthan addition is adequate. If it separates use a bit more Xanthan next time, and if it thickens too much use a bit less Xanthan next time.
NOTE: If you mistakenly add the two oils before you add the Xanthan Gum (thickening agent), it will likely clump, and getting it to un-clump is rather difficult...
