Since there are so many good uses for salad dressings in the summer months, I've put a couple of recipes here to get you started. Dressings are really easy and there are a myriad of recipes on the internet. They are so, so much better for you than the commercial dressings. Treat your family to better taste and healthier dressings!
1. Tarragon Dressing:
1/2 C olive oil
2 Tbs. Dijon mustard
2 Tbs. white wine vinegar
1 Tbs. chopped, fresh tarragon, or 1 tsp. dried tarragon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. honey
Combine all ingredients in a shaker jar, cover and shake well for a creamy consistency.
2. Ranch Dressing:
1/2 C sour cream, or plain yogurt
1/2 C mayonnaise - we use a canola oil mayo to avoid soy
1/3 C buttermilk
1 Tbs. lemon juice
1 Tbs. red wine vinegar
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. chopped chives or green onion tops
1 Tbs. chopped parsley
Whisk first 8 ingredients until smooth. Stir in chives and parsley. Adjust flavor with salt or pepper if needed.
