Some Ways To Make A Salad Vinaigrette Dressing
For someone who likes to eat salads on a regular basis you may find that without some kind of dressing they can taste a little boring. However, rather than resorting to using ready made ones from your local grocery store or delicatessen you could actually have a go at making your own salad vinaigrette dressing. In this article we show you some very simple ways of being able to make such a dressing along with a very basic recipe that you may want to consider trying.
In order for you to make a very basic vinaigrette dressing for a salad you can use a whisk, jar, blender or food processor to mix all of the ingredients together. |
Often the most simple of dressings for a salad will consist of 1 part vinegar, 2 parts oil and some herbs and spices. If you are going to be using a blender or food processor in order make up your dressing, you need to first place the vinegar into the bowl. Next, add a few herbs or spices and blend these together for a short while. Once all these ingredients have blended together whilst the machine is still on you begin to slowly pour (dribble) in the oil until all of it has been added to the mixture.
As for using a whisk again first place the vinegar in the bowl with the herbs and spices and then very gently begin to whisk them together. Do not whisk too vigorously but as soon as you feel that this have been blended together well you can now very slowly start to add the oil. Initially add the oil a tablespoon at the time then once half of it has been added you can then begin to add the rest in 2 or 3 tablespoons at the time. Remember you should continue whisking all the time. So you will probably find it much each to make a salad vinaigrette using an electric rather than manual whisk.
But probably the easiest and simplest way for you to make a good basic salad vinaigrette dressing is to first put the herbs and spices with the vinegar into a jar and shake vigorously (do not forget to put the lid on before you do this). Now take the lid off and add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the mixture then put the lid back and again shake vigorously. After the first tablespoon of oil has integrated with the rest of the mixture, you can continue to pour in the rest by adding 2 or 3 tablespoons at a time and shaking vigorously after the oil has been added.
In order to make the most basic of vinaigrette dressings for a salad you will need the following ingredients:-
1. Cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2. Cup Balsamic Vinegar 3. 3 Cloves of Garlic which have been pressed not cut or crushed 4. 1 Teaspoon of Oregano (fresh is better but dried will do at a pinch) 5. Teaspoon of Rosemary (fresh is best because you need to crush it before adding to the vinegar. However if fresh rosemary is not available then dried will suffice).
Now you have the above ingredients together you just need to combine them and this can easily be done using one of the methods that we have mentioned previously in this article. You will find that it will only take around 5 minutes to produce a great tasting salad vinaigrette dressing that will provide your meal with a little bit more. Also as long as any you have left over is kept in a jar in the refrigerator it can be used again for a further two weeks. |
