Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2005[OT] need salad dressing help, quick!
I'm planning to make some chicken and salad for tonight; a nice, light meal for a hot day. I have stuff for the salad: mixed greens, tomatoes, avocado, orange bell pepper ... what I don't have is a clue about salad dressings. Mom claims she makes her salad dressing by mixing "olive oil, cider or other flavored vinegar, and, you know, salt or something." Then she puts in some milk if she needs to cut the flavor. When I do this, it *never* turns out right -- either way weak or way salty, but never flavorful. Anyone have some proportions they can suggest to go with the ingredients?

Pretty tasty, if a bit complicated. A good Ceasar dressing: http://www.recipesource.com/side-dishes/dressings/caesar-salad1.html Hope they help and are in time for you. Sorry I didn't see it sooner.

However, Red Wine Vinegar, oil, salt, pepper and a little crushed garlic to taste is really very good. > Sorry, I got here way too late.

I usually do like 1/4 cup vinegar to 1 tbsp. oil. > But how much vinegar to oil? The ratio is usually 3 parts oil for 1 part vinegar. SignatureVictor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com I'm probably too late w'/this, but a good all around dressing is equal parts honey and almond or walnut oil. Then add a splash of balsamic vinegar. If you have a can of orange slices, or tangerine slices, throw them in also. Works with any mixed green salad. SignatureShirley B.

Oooh, this sounds good, but I'm a big fan of tart as opposed to sweet dressings ... still, I'll have to remember this. Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca Monique, if you like it more tart, just add more balsamic vinegar. You can balance that way.
