Artificial Flavor. Artificial Color. Guar Gum. Don't they just sound delicious!
The recommended guidelines for nutrition call for at least Five servings of Fruits and Vegetables a day.

One easy way to get some of those servings is to eat a salad. But so often we pour out dressing from a bottle and drown the salad in artificial this and that and an extra serving of high fructose corn syrup. It is just as easy and much better for you to make your own dressing. It is better for you and even tastes better because you made it yourself.
This dressing is a little sweet I think. Feel free to back off the sugar a little after making it the first time.
Sweet and Sour Salad Dressing
1 cup Vegetable Oil
1/2 cup Sugar
1/4 cup White Vinegar
1/4 cup Honey
2 Tablespoonfuls Lemon Juice
1 teaspoonful Onion Powder
1 teaspoonful Salt
1 Tablespoonful Celery Seed
1 Tablespoonful Dry Ground Mustard
1 Tablespoonful Sweet Paprika
In a saucepan, combine all ingredients and heat over med heat whisking to combine and dissolve sugar.
Stir constantly and bring to a boil. Watch carefully so that it does not boil over.
As soon as the dressing boils, remove from heat and cool.
Pour into a jar and use to dress salad.
