Tuscan Salad Dressing

Tuscan Salad Dressing

3 tbsp mayonnaise
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup water
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp minced roasted garlic
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp black pepper

Whisk all ingredients together and pour into a salad dressing container. Regrigerate at least 1 hour. Shake well before serving.

I didn't have any red wine vinegar so I used Balsamic. This dressing was very good...but it was an ugly color because of the Balsamic vinegar. I'll definitely try it again with the Red Wine!

Honey Mustard Dressing 4.4.09

Tonight we had Hamburger Steaks and a Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing.

For the "Steaks", start with 2 Tbsp butter melted in a large, heavy skillet. Add 1 large sliced onion and cook over medium-low heat until the onions are tender and beginning to turn a bit golden-brown. Remove them and keep warm. Turn the heat up a little. Make oval shaped patties with some ground chuck and put them in the pan. Season with garlic salt and pepper and splash on a little Worcestershire sauce. Cook until browned on the first side, flip them over and cook until as done as you prefer. Serve with the onions.

The salad included 1 bag of mixed veggie salad (lettuce, carrots, purple cabbage), some chopped broccoli, chopped cauliflower, diced tomatoes, a little shredded cheddar and some croutons.

The dressing is made from 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup yellow mustard, 1/4 cup honey and 1-2 Tbsp lemon juice. Mix well and refrigerate until needed. This is THE best Honey Mustard Dressing I've ever had and I make it often!

My opinion: Excellent and easy!
