Salad dressings

When we moved to Wisconsin and I finally got a kitchen that was big enough to cook comfortably in I started serving only home made salad dressings. When you look at the garbage in the store bought stuff your like "do I really want to eat that junk"? So here's a few of the ones I have been serving here.

Asian Style Ginger Soy Dressing

1 carrot

1 3 inch piece of ginger peeled

3 cloves garlic peeled

1/2 onion peeled

Chop in a food processor or blender until fine.

Add

1/4 cup sugar or splenda

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 cup toasted sesame oil

1/2 cup water

2 TBS sesame seeds

Blend well until combined

French Dressing

1 cup ketchup

1 cup cider vinegar

1 TBS chopped garlic

1 TBS dried thyme leaves

1/3 cup sugar or sugar substitute

1/2 cup water

3 cups vegetable or corn oil

Blend everything well except for the oil & water. Add the oil with the blender running. Thin out with the water to a pourable consistency.

2 TBS caper juice

2 TBS chopped garlic

1 TBS dried oregano

1 tsp blk pepper

1 tsp salt

a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

Blend everything in the blender until well mixed.
