Italian Salad Dressing - A Question



It seems logical to me that the blender, which will "whip"
the dressing, should cause a foam. I did use the proportion
of indredients that I mentioned in my earlier post, and I
imagine that further blending will only make things worse,
not better.

I have an old malted maker machine somjewhere in my
basement. I think it will stir rather than whip. Do you
think this might do a more respectable job? OR one of those
Tupperware 2-cup quick shake containers might do well, also.

Again, I have to question why you're going to all this
bother?? Salads have been dressed for eons without all this
bother. Dressing a salad is near effortless and at most you
need a nice spoon/fork to toss with the ingredients. My old
Italian Aunt preferred her hands. Never a finer salad made,
I swear. Goomba

I actually use my "mini-chopper" which is just like using a
blender (IMO) and the resulting emulsion does NOT separate
or look like a glass of beer with foam on it.

I don't think your milkshake maker would do a better job,
but I wish I had one of those in my basement.... because it
would make a much better milkshake than my blender does.

You're right...it is a lot of bother.

My original intent was to get rid of the solids in my
dressing. I think it's all taken care of when you mix the
ingredients in the right order (oil last), regardless of how
you mix them...as long as it's vigorous.

Some of us prefer to make a larger amount of dressing (1/2
cup or so), use a little of it and keep the rest in the
fridge until the next time we need it.
