These are the two dressings that I will be serving tomorrow at a 2:00p Do. I am making a pasta and cod dish with a lemon cream sauce (yet to work out all the details but pushing on), freshly baked rolls and a side salad. And, wine, there will always be wine. These dressing have a lot of applications other than a simple salad, and I will give you some suggestions later. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make salad essentials: spicy dressing – two ways

  • 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • 2
    You will need a whisk and a bowl to make this recipe. And, some good non-reactive jars to store it in.
  • 3
    You want a lite oil for these two recipes. I like grapeseed, and even vegetable oil would work nicely. If you want a hint of additional flavor, you might want to try a lite olive oil.
  • 4
    Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 5
    In both recipes simply combine the ingredients into a bowl and whisk until nice and smooth.
  • 6
    After whisking season with a bit of salt and pepper, to taste.
  • 7
    Store in tightly sealed non-reactive containers in the fridge, until needed.
  • 8
    PLATE/PRESENT
  • 9
    Serving Suggestions On a salad with some yummy sauteed chicken. Use as a spread on a chicken or turkey sandwich. Use as a chicken marinade for added flavor. It is an excellent dip for veggies and chicken tenders. Or use as a dressing for a chicken Sharma. Enjoy.
