Today you get a three-in-one deal! 

I made THREE homemade salad dressings for my first salad party, now I keep getting asked for the recipes. So here they are…
1. LIBBIE'S CREAMY BALSAMIC
(This is similar to the one I included with my Kitchen Sink Salad post)

OLIVE OIL - 1 cup

MAYO (or high quality bottled BLUE CHEESE dressing, or a vegan substitute) - 1/2 cup

BALSAMIC VINEGAR - 1/2 cup

DIJON MUSTARD - 2-3 tablespoons

GARLIC - 1 or 2 (or more!) raw or roasted cloves, crushed or grated very finely. Or a teaspoon or two of garlic powder

ITALIAN HERBS - take your pick, but use lots! At least a tablespoon or two (total) dried, and more if fresh: BASIL, THYME, MARJORAM, ROSEMARY, OREGANO.

BLACK PEPPER - 1 or 2 tsp, fresh cracked if possible

ONION POWDER - 1 or 2 tsp



2. NATALEE'S CITRUS GARLIC RUSTICA
​Toss everything into a jar and let it sit at least for a few hours. It will be even better the next day.

OLIVE OIL - 1 cup

VINEGAR - 1/2 cup (your choice, or a mix: apple cider, white wine, red wine, balsamic, etc)

1/2 an ORANGE, or a whole MANDARIN/TANGERINE - halved, squeezed, and toss the WHOLE thing, peel and all, into the jar

GARLIC - several whole cloves, mashed with the flat side of a kitchen knife or wooden spoon, tossed into the jar

OREGANO - 2-3 tablespoons dried, more if fresh

SOY SAUCE - just a splash

BLACK PEPPER - 1 or 2 tsp

SWEET - a dollop of your preferred sweetener: honey, (real) maple syrup, agave, etc




3. ASIAN SESAME VINAIGRETTE

OLIVE OIL - 1 cup

SESAME OIL - 1/4 cup

RICE WINE VINEGAR - 1/2 cup

TAHINI - 2-3 TBS

SOY SAUCE - just a splash

GINGER - 1-2 TBS peeled and grated

GREEN ONIONS - one stalk, chopped 

GARLIC - 1 tsp powder or fresh

This one might need the blender or bullet to break up the thick tahini and green onions.
