Directions

  • Basic Vinegarette:
  • Place all ingredients in a screw top jar and shake.  Use immediately!
  • Basic Mayonnaise:
  • In a food processor, add the egg yolks, vinegar and pepper.
  • Process for 10 – 15 seconds or until well combined.
  • With the motor still running slowly add the cup of olive oil until the mixture is thick and creamy.
  • If the mixture is too thick, add a bit of hot water to thin down.
  • Kara’s No-Egg Mayonnaise:
  • Combine all together thoroughly.
  • Use in coleslaw or whenever a recipe calls for mayo. Can use less mustard if you find it too hot as it has a bit of bite!
  • Fresh Cucumber Dressing:
  • In a blender, combine the yoghurt, cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Blend until smooth and refrigerate until chilled.  Serve with a garden salad.
  • Italian Herb Dressing:  
  • Put all ingredients into a jar and shake.
  • Taste it once it is mixed and add more of the ingredients to suit how you like it.
  • Before using, let it sit for at least two hours to let the flavours infuse.
  • If you store it in the fridge the oil will go a bit hard – take out of fridge an hour or so before use to let the oil soften then shake or just store in cupboard.
  • Mustard and Honey Dressing:
  • Place all ingredients into a jar and shake well to combine.
  • Red Wine Dressing:
  • Whisk all ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate until needed.
  • Thousand Island Dressing:
