Easy Salad Dressing Recipes ❤️

How to Make Salad Dressing ❤️

There are two basic types of dressings, the classic vinaigrette type and the creamy type. 

For the classic vinaigrette

• Use a ration of about 1 part acid to 3 parts oil
• Use a fine sea salt or kosher salt for best flavor
• If you add a sweetener such as sugar or honey, you can usually use less oil

For a creamy dressing

• Use sour cream, yogurt, heavy cream and just thin with a bit of acid

Some oils to use are olive, grapeseed, nut, and sesame.

Some acids to use are wine vinegars, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice.

Some creamy additions to use are buttermilk, mustard, sour cream, yogurt, and mayonnaise.

Try these seasonings and additions:

• Dill goes well with cucumbers
• Parsley goes well with tomatoes
• Season with any one or combination of paprika, cumin seed, fennel seed, or coriander seed
• grated onions
• Tarragon, thyme, mint, basil cilantro, chives
• Lemon zest
