Salad Dressings

My repertoire is somewhat limited; thousand island, creamy roasted red pepper, balsamic
vinaigrette, pesto vinaigrette and a generic Italian dressing.

I've never tried Penzey's salad dressing blends, any feedback on those?

Greek is great, and others, though not me, love green goddess from Penzeys.

My favourite is one part good olive oil one part good balsamic vinegar one part crushed ice, whipped
together to emulsify the stuff add as much dijon mustard as you like. Can blend in some avocado as
well. blacksalt

I tried The Penzy's Green Goddess, and it is one of the few Penzy'sproducts that I did not like.

One of our favorite dressings is to use:

Sour Cream Vinegar and a little bit of sugar

Mix together to taste. It's really, really good! When Rick and I were married - it was the salad
dressing that I requested to be made (as in no other dressings were served!). It's outstanding.

No, I haven't tried any of the Penzeys' dressings yet.

I don't see miso dressing on the list. Combine in a blender a small onion, half a cup of mild white
miso and 1/4 cup of cider vinegar.

For years I "gifted" friends & neighbors with homemade salad dressings. These are my "BEST"

Imperial French Dressing Simmer till sugar is dissolved:
1/4 cup brown sugar 1 1/2 tsp salt
2/8 tsp pepper
3/2 tsp onion salt
4/2 tsp celery seed dash Tabasco® 1 tsp paprika
5/2 tsp dill
6/2 cup red wine vinegar Whisk in: 1 cup catsup 1 cup olive oil (I use less 1/2 c?) 1 cup vegetable
oil (I use less) 3 TB capers 1 1/2 tsp caper juice 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce 2 cloves minced
fresh garlic Makes 2-3 cups. Shake before serving.

Dutch Mill Gorgonzola Dressing 1 lb Gorgonzola or other blue cheese 2 cups whole milk 1 quart real
mayonnaise Coarsely crumble cheese. Scald milk, add all but about one cup of crumbled cheese. Stir
over low heat till cheese melts. Cool to room temperature. Beat in the mayonnaise. Fold in reserved
cheese crumbles. Refrigerate.

Dom DeLuise's Chinese Dressing
7/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar 2 cups water
8/2 cup white sugar
9/4 cup plum sauce 2 TB soy sauce 1 TB fresh ginger, grated 2 whole cloves garlic 2 TB sesame oil
10/2 cup vegetable oil (optional) Bring vinegar, sugar & water to a boil. Stir to dissolve sugar.
Off heat, add ginger, plum sauce, soy sauce, garlic cloves (peeled, smashed a bit & stuck onto a
toothpick) and oils. Refrigerate overnight. Shake well before serving. Makes about a quart.

POPPY SEED DRESSING
11/3 cup white vinegar 2 tablespoons very finely grated onion
12/2 cup white sugar 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1 teaspoon salt (or less) 1 cup oil (or less - add a
little water to the vinegar if you cut down on the oil so it isn't too strong) 2 tablespoons
poppy seeds Combine vinegar, onion sugar and dry mustard. Whisk in salt and oil (or place in
blender and add oil very slowly while blender is running) Stir in poppy seeds. Keep refrigerated.
Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

If you still have it and don't know what to do with it, use the mix when sauteeing or grilling
veggies. I prefer this use for it.

Hi Jessica,

I recently tried Jamie Oliver's Honey and Lemon Juice dressing and it was delicious. It is: 6 tbsp
extra virgin olive oil, 3 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp honey, salt and pepper to taste.

When I get bored with my usual vinaigrettes, I sometimes substitute the vinegar or spice with
something different -- for example, rice wine vinegar and grated ginger; or a berry vinegar with
walnut oil; etc.

If you like those, try this one:

coddle 1 egg in a mug full of boiling water for 1 minute mix with:
1/8 c red wine vinegar
2/8 c olive oil 1 t dijon mustard 1 t sugar

That's great over a plain salad.

For these next two, you can scale the amount of sugar, salt, and fat down if you like, as long as
you can get it to emulsify. I've already cut it down some from more traditional recipes.

Poppyseed:

3/2 c sugar
4/2 c lemon 2 t onion powder 1 t dijon mustard
5/2 t salt
6/3 c oil 1 T poppy seeds
7/2 c sour cream

Blend well.

Honey Mustard:

1 c olive oil
8/4 c cider vinegar 1 1/8 c honey
9/2 c dijon mustard
10/4 c mayonnaise

blend well.

Let's not forget the salad dressing I spent years trying to reproduce, only to find the basics of it
in a cookbook a neighbor gave me:

<paste> Japanese carrot Dressing (from Moosewood Cooks at Home)
1/2 C shredded carrot 2 T mirin 2 T rice vinegar 1 Tablespoon usukuchi-style soy sauce (Kikkomen
makes it) 1 T. grated ginger
2/2 teas. dark sesame oil (optional) Puree' in blender <end paste> blacksalt

Daughter thawed out a small package of frozen peeled tomatoes by mistake. They'll taste fresh but be
watery and mushy. I'm trying to figure out how to make a dressing out of them.

I think maybe something like 1 part thawed tomatoes and 2 parts olive oil, seasoned with salt,
pepper, and dried basil. Blenderize it all to emulsify. It might need an egg yolk or a little soy
lecithin to make it mix, and might need a little lemon juice and/or sugar.

Think it will work?
