I got this recipe many years ago from one of my favorite Canadian author/teacher, Ann Lindsay. This recipe never gets boring as there are many variations to choose from. It is fun to play around, coming up with something new each time! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
2 tablespoons lemon juice or 2 tablespoons rice vinegar or 2 tablespoons cider vinegar or 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
2 tablespoons water |
1 small garlic clove, minced |
1 teaspoon dijon mustard |
1 pinch salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine oil, water, garlic, mustard and salt and pepper.
2. Mix well.
3. Variations: Add ONE of the following to the dressing: 1 tsp sesame oil. 1/4 tsp cumin. 1 fresh Parmesan cheese, grated.
4. Herb Dressing: Add 2 T chopped fresh herbs (basil, dill or parsley or a combination).
5. Poppyseed Dressing: Omit mustard and garlic. Add 1 T poppy seeds and 1 tsp sugar.
6. Ginger Garlic Dressing: use 1 T each of vegetable oil and sesame oil; add 1 tsp finely minced gingerroot, omit mustard.
