For awhile now I’ve been making my own dressings as that ‘gummy’ concoction from a bottle is nearly nauseating. Especially the ‘fat -free’ stuff. Here are a few, basic great tasting alternatives. Remember, only coat the salad. Don’t drown it in dressing.
Classic French Dijon: Cilantro Lime
1/3 cup white wine vinegar 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp each, kosher salt 2 Tbsp cider vinegar
and black pepper 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp sugar 1/4 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp chopped Thyme, Estragon 1 Tbsp honey
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 2 Tbsp cilantro
2/3 cup (or less) canola oil
