Everyday Salad Dressing

January 25, 2012

I grew up eating salads with dressings made from scratch. The sound of the whisk beating the sides of the bowl was my version of the dinner bell. And, although I grew up eating it, it wasn’t until I started living on my own after college that I got my first dressing making lesson. view recipe

Lemon Vinaigrette

January 30, 2012

Lemon Vinaigrette is a homemade salad dressing that can’t get much simpler. This recipe takes just a tiny bit longer than it does to dig out a bottle of store bought dressing out of the refrigerator. Plus, it doesn’t have the excess sodium, sugar, preservatives, or artificial ingredients found in bottled dressing.

Balsamic Vinaigrette

February 8, 2012

Balsamic Vinaigrette is a great, simple, and versatile dressing. Balsamic is a fairly sweet vinegar so it would be a good choice if you are not fond of tart salad dressings. This is my go-to salad dressing if I’m serving Italian style dishes such as homemade pizza, pasta with tomato sauce, or tomato and mozzarella panini.
