Red Wine Viniagrette

Red Wine Viniagrette Salad Dressing

It only takes a couple of minutes to make your own delicious homemade salad dressing, as you can see from this recipe.


Ingredients:

1 clove of garlic, peeled but not chopped
¼ tsp salt
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 cup olive oil

Place all the ingredients except the oil in a shaker. I like the Zyliss Quick Blend Shaker
Leave the garlic whole; do not cut it up.Shake well. Add the oil, slowly, whisking as you add it. This can be refrigerated for a week.

Variations

Herb Viniagrette:
Add ¼ cup of chopped herbs of your choice. (Rosemary, basil, thyme, chives, parsley, and dill are all good choices.)

Lime Viniagrette:

Subsitute lime juice for the red wine vinegar.

Walnut Viagrette:

Substitute balsamic vinegar for the red wine vinegar. Add 2 Tbsp minced walnuts.

Caesar Salad Dressing

Caesar Salad Dressing

Caesar salad dressing is quick to make and the fresh taste is far better than the bottled kind.

3 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ teaspoon freshly grated black pepper
1 tablespoon of mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon style mustard
2 chopped garlic cloves
¼ cup of grated parmesan cheese
2/3 cup of oil

Whip together all the ingredients in a salad dressing shaker. The Norpro salad dressing mixer is nice because it has other recipes with ingredient measurements right on the side of the bottle. It's hard to go wrong with that!
