OnMyOwn Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) I am going to try to get my family eating salads for lunch during the week, which will be a major challenge. If anyone is willing to share recipes for salad dressing, they would be greatly appreciated. Edited June 11, 2016 by OnMyOwn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can adjust or add herbs to taste and availability. This is the combination we like best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Some of my favorites: Basic Balsamic vinaigrette: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/simple-balsamic-vinaigrette-recipe.html I omit the sugar. Sometimes I add a little honey. Lemon vinaigrette: http://www.food.com/recipe/lemon-vinaigrette-dressing-179197 I usually omit the sugar.

6packofun Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Pear Vinaigrette 3 canned pear halves 1/2 cup of light syrup from canned pears 1 clove of garlic, minced 2 tsp Dijon mustard 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar 1/2 cup olive oil salt and pepper to taste (I use about 1/4 tsp and 3/4 tsp, respectively) *honey to taste IF you want it sweeter Pulse it all in a blender or food processor. Keeps about 1 week in fridge. (Possibly more, it doesn't last that long here!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Caesar: http://www.food.com/recipe/no-egg-caesar-dressing-rachael-rays-105760 Basic vinaigrette: Equal parts vinegar and oil Salt and pepper Add a touch of Dijon to help emulsify the oil and vinegar. I eyeball everything in a little jar and shake to combine. You can switch up the vinegar and use red wine, white wine, balsamic, or champagne vinegar. Use lemon juice instead or lemon with a touch of vinegar (red wine is my favorite there). Switch up oil from different olive oils, grape seed, avocado, walnut. Throw in fresh garlic. Use lime juice and a neutral tasting oil and add a bit of taco seasoning for a Tex-Mex vinaigrette. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThisIsTheDay Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Oh my gosh, I think there is nothing better than homemade mayonnaise and homemade salad dressing! All are definitely better when made in a blender or food processor. Recent faves: Blue Cheese Vinaigrette -- I skip sauteeing the garlic and then reduce the oil by 1 T. Copycat Chipotle's Honey Dressing (use on anything remotely Mexican) -- I cut waaaay back on the salt. Simple Balamic Vinaigrette 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
