Tasty oil and herb dressings for cold salads.

[Guest guest]

Greetings listmates and Happy early Thanksgiving:),

I want to learn how to make my own dressings to put on salads using

oils, vinegars and herbs. A friend of mine made this delicious mint

dresssing one time....he is a good cook doesn't cook with exact amounts

just pinches of this or shovels of that;). Are there any good books out

there with directions for these types of healthy dressings?

I am on digest so will not be able to respond right away.

Thanks alot,

:)Paula

Paula, I don't know of any specific books with salad dressings, but have you

looked at www.epicurious.com ? They have recipes in several of their

sections. Here is my Man in the Moon Salad Dressing, named for the neat

bottle I keep it in. It is not measured either, and varies depending on what

herbs are in the garden at the time.

Put in the blender:

1/2 cup lemon juice, Balsalmic vinegar (white makes a prettier dressing), OR

apple cider vinegar

1 cup olive oil

1 to 4 garlic cloves, depending on how much you like

1/2 cup coarsely chopped parsley, Italian flat leaf is my choice

sprigs of thyme, lemon balm, oregano, sage, summer savory, rosemary,

lavender, or whatever amuses you (my choice is often thyme, oregano and

lemon balm)

Blend until it is all smooth. Taste and add up to 1/4 cup water if needed.

Add salt and pepper if you like. You can also add cayenne pepper, if your

salad will be improved by it. (like a steamed broccoli, red onion and green

pepper salad). It also makes a great marinade for meat, fish or chicken.

Drizzle it over toasted French bread to go with soups or stews.

processing regular orders, AND having both the boys home and all over me
