I’ve recently become a vegetarian, so in recent months, I’ve eaten more salad than I used to in a year. To keep it interesting, I’ve started doctoring up my own dressings, but I haven’t advanced much further than honey mustard. So I’m stealing a page from the recipe book of these neighbors who competed North Haven’s salad dressing contest. You, too, can get all those recipes here. My favorite? The Bloody Mary salad dressing, courtesy of Amy Severson. I always knew, deep down, that vodka could be nutritious.

Kudos to all the neighbors who earned their bragging rights for another year!
