what's your favorite salad dressing?
Comments (56)Back in the day, my favorite commercially bottled salad dressing was Catalina. But they reformulated it to be sweeter (and full of HFCS, but it was the extra sweetness that turned me off) in the 1990s or maybe it was the late 1980s. Right now, it is Annie's Balsamic Vinaigrette. Tart, creamy, not too sweet. No ingredient crud. I intensely dislike sweet salad dressings. When I want sugar, I'll have a dessert. If I want my salad with some level of sweetness, I'll add actual fruit into the salad itself. For a regular vinaigrette, home-made: Juice of 1/2 lemon Add rice vinegar to make 50 mL / 1.7 fluid ounces total volume atop the lemon juice (I used one of those Ball half-pint canning jars, and just added everything directly to that. The metric side of the scale on the jar was more convenient to me.) 1.5 teaspoon Dijon mustard 75 mL / 2.5 fluid ounces of oil. I recommend a 1:1 mixture (approximately 37.5 L/1.25 ounces of each) extra virgin olive oil to avocado oil. See below, and no, I don’t expect this to be measured out Exactly! Two teaspoons Penzy’s Herbes de Provence dried herbal concoction. 1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste 1/4 teaspoon cracked pepper (approximate) I put it in that Ball canning jar, cap, and shake the devil out of it....See MoreYour favorite cucumber salad recipes, please....
Comments (24)I typically do make a cucumber feta salad, and I add cherry tomatoes for mine and leave them out for Kevin. I guess I missed Grainlady's recipe because it was grayed out. Her recipe is similar to mine except that I add fresh dill to mine (I have plenty in the back yard) and use red onions instead of green onions. I have plenty of chives in my yard also, and so I might add some of those. It's getting to the time of year when I have to move the dill to shadier parts of the yard so that it will not go to flower so quickly. The same is true for parsley and cilantro, although cilantro can handle the sun better....See MoreWhat is Your Favorite Salad Dressing?
Comments (29)If I buy salad dressing it would be Renee's Chunky Blue Cheese or the packets of dried Ranch that I mix with mayo. 99 percent of the time I make my own. I love extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice or I make a vinegrette with Dijon mustard, canola oil, red wine vinegar, garlic and a bit of honey.
