Years...years spent on looking for the right flavours in both a Coleslaw Dressing and a Caesar's Salad Dressing. Lots of good ones, tons of horrible ones and then you hit the RIGHT ones. Keep these 2 recipes for your homemade dressing library. Now, added a 3rd! Creamy Yogourt Honey Mustard, a sunshine-y thing!
Creamy Coleslaw Vinaigrette- whisk in a bowl
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp plain white sugar, you can substitute with maple syrup
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup mayo
1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
So yummy with fish tacos or any summer BBQ. Don't forget the sweet potato fries!
Best Caesar's Salad Dressing out there!
You will need a large salad bowl.
First, on a wooden cutting board finely chop 6 anchovy fillets, (don't scrimp) and 1 small garlic clove. Put a pinch of coarse salt over this as you chop so it doesn't all slide around, good trick, becomes paste-like. Place this in the large bowl.
In the same large bowl, stir together:
2 large egg yolks
2 tbsp of fresh lemon juice and more if you wish
3/4 tsp Dijon mustard
Now...the KEY: 1 drop at a time, whisk in 2 tbsp olive oil. You must constantly whisk and really add just a drizzle at a time. I get help for this part so I don't screw up and ruin the emulsion! Once nice and creamy ADD 1/2 cup of canola oil, or any light oil. Grapeseed and peanut also work really well. KEEP WHISKING.
Then add 3 tbsp of finely grated Parmesan cheese and freshly ground pepper and salt to taste.
I like to make homemade croutons for this salad by toasting bread that has been tossed in olive oil, garlic salt and rosemary.
