Salad Dressings

I make a lot of different olive oil & vinegar recipes. I tried this one recently & it was good. What do you use for salad dressings?


Honey Dijon Dressing

Serves: 1 cup

INGREDIENTS
¼ cup Dijon mustard
2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger (about 1-inch, peeled)
2 Tablespoons honey*
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ cup water, or more for thinning

INSTRUCTIONS
In a high-speed blender, combine all of the ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust the flavors to taste, and add more water if a thinner dressing is desired.
Serve immediately, and store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week. (Dressing will thicken a bit when chilled.


*Note: I've made this dressing with both honey and dates now, and both versions have been delicious. If you prefer using dates as a sweetener, for an extra-boost of fiber, use 2-3 dates plus an additional ¼ cup of water. For those of you who need to avoid all sugars, use liquid stevia to your taste.

    I spend a lot of time on the Isle of Wight where there's a place called The House of Chilli. They do a Raspberry and Chilli balsamic vinegar which makes THE most delish dressing! I just sprinkle a bit over my salad, its got a lovely sweet/sour flavour with a real kick of heat and you can taste raspberry too. They also do blackberry, strawberry and fig varieties.

    Greek:
    2 T lemon juice
    1 T olive oil (may be halved, depending on what you want)
    1 tsp crushed garlic
    1 tsp oregano

    Super simple, but delicious.
