Salad Dressings

Thought I would pass along some salad dressing recipes I've found.

Raspberry Vinaigrette

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup Raspberry Vinegar
2 Tbsp. Lemon juice
1 tsp. Agave Nectar or Honey
1 tsp. Garlic, minced
1 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp. Dijon Mustard
Salt and Pepper to taste

If it is too tart for your taste, add a little more Agave Nectar or Honey.

Greek Dressing

1/2 cup First Cold Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar
1/4 cup Lemon Juice
1 tsp. Garlic, minced
1 tsp. Oregano
1 oz. Fresh Parsley, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste

Mix red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, oregano and parsley in a bowl. Drizzle in olive oil while whisking vigorously. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Add crumbled Feta cheese to salad after dressing is applied.

Basil Vinaigrette

2/3 cup First Cold Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/3 cup White Wine Vinegar
1 Tbsp. Agave Nectar or Honey
1 tsp. Dijon Mustard
1/2 tsp. Paprika
3 Tbsp. (packed) Fresh Basil, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste

Mix white wine vinegar, agave nectar, Dijon mustard and paprika in a bowl. Drizzle in olive oil while whisking vigorously. Mix in basil and salt and pepper to taste.

Creamy Caesar

1/2 cup First Cold Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/3 cup Lemon Juice
1 Tbsp. White Wine
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp. Lemon Zest, grated
2 Tbsp. Fage Greek yogurt

Mix lemon juice, white wine, salt, garlic and lemon zest in a bowl. Drizzle in olive oil while whisking vigorously. Once emulsified, whisk in yogurt until smooth and creamy.

You can also add 1/2 tsp. of Anchovy Paste. I personally don't care for anchovies.

Balsamic Vinaigrette

1/2 cup First Cold Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/3 cup Balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. Garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. Oregano, dried
1 tsp. Dijon Mustard

Mix balsamic vinegar, garlic, oregano and Dijon mustard in a bowl. Drizzle in olive oil while whisking vigorously.

Curry Vinaigrette

1/4 cup White Wine Vinegar
2 Tbsp. First Cold Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp. Sweet Curry Powder (The Spice House)
1/2 tsp. Kosher Salt
1/2 tsp. Agave Nectar or Honey
1/4 tsp. Garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. Dill
1/8 tsp. Fresh Ground Pepper
Dash Hot Pepper Sauce

Mix all ingredients in a shaker bottle and shake vigorously. This dressing tends to separate easily. Shake well prior to use.
