Salad dressing -How do you make yours?

newlywed

similar to redruby - but without the oil...

I use roughly equal parts of balsamic vinegar, runny honey and soy sauce. (It's nice heated as a sauce over steamed fish too)

Sometimes with mustard, sometimes not

I tend to keep both white and red wine vinegar in the fridge with garlic in them. I use the white wine vinegar with wholegrain mustard, honey and olive oil as a potato salad dressing (adding to taste). The red wine goes with tomato juice and olive oil as a strong dressing for bean salads etc.

Also as a lentil salad dressing, lemon juice, sunflower oil, a little garlic red wine vinegar and oregano or basil is very nice...you can add sugar if you prefer it a little sweeter...

Hi pink90,

There's an earlier thread that has some recipes that should help so I've added your post to it to keep all the suggestions together.

Easy peasy dressing that I make from scratch each time (fresher, and is so quick to make!):
general ratios are:
1/2 tsp runny honey
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste.

I generally make about 3 times this amount for two very greedy people.

Start by mixing the honey and the vinegar, that way the vinegar acts as a solvent for the honey. now mix in the olive oil and salt and pepper.

all done!

Delicious with avocadoes and toasted pine nuts over a leafy rocket salad.

Heya

I like walnut oil and white wine vinegar (3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar) or olive oil, a teaspoon to dijon mustard and the juice of half a lemon (maybe a pinch of oregano)
