  • There are a number of dressings you can easily make from items you probably already have in your refrigerator door. How about making a quick sandwich dressing by mixing together 1/2 cup chili sauce, one tablespoon prepared horseradish, one teaspoon Worcestershire, and chopped pickles? Use this spread on sandwiches or as a vegetable dip (figure A).
