1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 stalk celery, cut into 1" chunks
1 Tbs sweet relish (or more, to taste)
1 tsp dried onion flakes
1 tsp grainy mustard
1/8 tsp ground pepper

Process all in the food processor until ground but not mushy.
Serve as a sandwich filling.

Old Hellmann's Sheet o' Salad Dressings

I can't find my sheet around the house, but here is a link to the one I was talking about, posted on RecipeCurio.com

It has recipes for Green Goddess, Creamy Italian, Creamy Tart French (!?), Russian, Creamy Roquefort, Thousand Island, Fresh Strawberry (!?), Tangy Buttermilk, and Parmesan Cheese dressings. There are also links to other salad dressing recipes at the bottom of the page.

Two notes:
--I have not tried any of these recipes.
--I usually use Hain Light Safflower Oil Mayonnaise, but I will use Hellmann's Canola Mayonnaise if I can't find Hain.

Kosher for Passover Often Means Soy-free

Passover is starting March 29th.

In the days running up to Passover, don't forget to look for soy-free foods in the Kosher-for-Passover sections in many supermarkets!

Some Jews do not eat peas, beans, soy, or other legumes during Passover, so it is a great time to look for soy-free groceries, especially soup mixes and chocolate, especially chocolate chips. I discovered Israeli chocolate one year that way.

But, as always, read every label, every time.
