Subway Sweet Onion Sauce Copycat Recipe

I love Subway's sweet onion sauce and have been looking for a good copy cat recipe for it for quite some time. There is some version floating around online that just doesn't quite cut it but the same recipe seems to copied over and over again on all kinds of websites.

Instead I started out with a simple onion salad dressing recipe and modified it to taste more like the restaurant one. Turned out pretty well. Let me know if you like it.

1 cup olive oil
1 cup sugar
1 small onion
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 C white vinegar
1 small carrot, grated
1 tsp celery seed

Throw the onion in a blender and pulse until it is finely chopped. Add the oil, salt, sugar and mustard powder and blend until mixed and pretty smooth. Add the vinegar and blend some more. Add the very finely grated carrot and the celery seeds and give it a few more pulses in the blender to combine.

This is great on sandwiches or salads.

Copycat Don Pablo Salsa Recipe

I love, love, love fresh homemade salsa and after visiting Don Pablo's for lunch one day, I had to recreate their salsa. I like this with just plain tortilla chips. Makes a nice appetizer and I love it as a snack. The salsa keeps in the fridge for a few days, but is best fresh.

• 2 1/2 cups canned diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup red onion chopped
• 1/2 cup tomato paste
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1/2-1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 jalapeno peppers (remove the stems and for less heat remove the seeds and spine)
• 2 cups diced tomatoes (preferably fresh - otherwise canned will work)

Put everything but the 2 cups of diced fresh tomatoes into a blender and blend just until well combined. You want everything well blended but it doesn't have to be super smooth.

Add the diced tomatoes and pulse just until combined.
