Salad Dressing Shortcuts
Description
An overview of how to salad dressing in a hurry
Ingredients
Let’s talk about salad dressing. The one shown above is:
- 1/4c olive oil
- 2T red vinegar
- 2T lime juice
- 2T sour cream
- 1/4t basil
- 1/4t cilantro
- a dash of white pepper
It makes a little more than 1/2c of dressing. More loosely, this can be broken down into:
- 1/4c oil
- 2-4T vinegar
- (2T citrus juice, if only 2T vinegar)
- (2T sour cream or mayo, if you want creamy)
- ~1/2t dry leaf herbs, where pre-mixed blends are your friend (1/4t if spices or powdered herbs)
Cooking Instructions
Depending on what you pick for each slot, you can get a wide variety of dressings out of the exact same base recipe. The rule of thumb is to put everything in a measuring cup, starting with the thickest or oiliest ingredients and to blend everything else into that, so you don't end up with weird floating lumps.
