This is definitely NOT a lowfat salad dressing. I can't believe it

needs a full cup of vegetable oil. But I like the sound of the other

ingredients, so I'm sending it to you. I may play with this and

reduce the oil -- a lot!

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup vegetable oil

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

or fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon honey

- or 2 tablespoons apple juice

5 spinach leaves -- (to 6)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon fresh basil

- (OR 1/4 teaspoon dried)

1 teaspoon fresh marjoram

- (OR 1/4 teaspoon dried)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 garlic clove -- pressed

1 cup buttermilk

 

Blend all of the ingredients, except the buttermilk, for one minute.

While the blender is running, slowly pour in the buttermilk. As soon as the

dressing thickens, turn off the blender or the dressing will separate and

become runny. It should be thick and creamy. Chill at least 30 minutes so

the flavors have a chance to meld.

 

Other herbs can be used to vary this dressing. Dill, tarragon, oregano,

a dab of Dijon mustard, and freshly ground black pepper are all possible

additions or substitutions. Fresh herbs in season are always our choice

when available. Yogurt or sour cream may be substituted for the buttermilk.

However, buttermilk makes the most creamy and stable (non-separating)

dressing.

 

3. Refrigerated and tightly covered, it will stay fresh for up to a week.

If the dressing separates, blend again.
