Mariannes Salad Dressing Recipes

5 HOMEMADE SALAD DRESSINGS

Steps:

• Add salt and pepper to a jar or cruet and add the apple cider vinegar. Allow salt to dissolve.
• Add mustard and shallot and mix.
• Slowly add olive oil to allow dressing to emulsify.
• If making the Italian Dressing, omit the mustard and shallot, and in their place, add 1 teaspoon of dried oregano or Italian seasoning and 1 garlic clove finely minced. (Optional, if you wish, you can use red wine vinegar in place of apple cider vinegar.)
• If making the Balsamic Vinaigrette, start with the Italian Dressing but in place of the apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar, use balsamic vinegar. If you are using a high-quality aged balsamic vinegar, that should be sufficient. If you are using a lower-end, shorter-aged balsamic vinegar, you may need to add some dried cane juice (Sucanat) or another sweetener, such as maple sugar or light brown sugar. Start with 1 teaspoon. At most, you should need no more than 2 teaspoons of sweetener. You may also wish to omit the oregano if making Balsamic Vinaigrette, so as to not overpower the balsamic flavor.
• Add salt and pepper to a jar and add the apple cider vinegar. Allow salt to dissolve.
• Add relish and ketchup to jar and mix.
• Add sour cream, mayonnaise, and sugar (if using), and mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated, and the dressing takes on a light pink hue.
• Add salt and pepper to a jar and add the apple cider vinegar. Allow salt to dissolve.
• Add sour cream, mayonnaise, and blue cheese to jar and mix well.
• If a thinner consistency is desired, add milk or buttermilk to thin, starting with 1 tablespoon.
• Add salt and pepper to a jar and then add the apple cider vinegar. Allow the salt to dissolve.
• Add all remaining ingredients to the jar and mix well.
• Add salt, pepper, mustard, and garlic to a food processor or blender and process for a few seconds to chop garlic.
• Add vinegar and process for a few more seconds to help dissolve the salt.
• Add parsley and scallion and process until finely chopped.
• Add tarragon, mayo, sour cream, and anchovy paste (if using) and process for 1 minute until dressing is smooth and turns a light green color.
