DIJON-HERB DRESSING



Dijon-herb Dressing image

I have been trying lots of recipes from "The New American Plate" a wonderful cookbook that features dishes that are lower in saturated fats and high in flavors. This is my own rift on one of their many salad dressings. Whether you are concerned about calories or not, you're gonna enjoy this one.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 8m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil, use extra virgin if possible
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped or 2 teaspoons dried basil
1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon nonfat dry milk powder
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • In a small bowl whisk together the mustard, vinegar, oil, basil and parsley.
  • In a separate bowl mix the powdered milk and water; it will not be the consistency of milk, instead creamier and thicker like half-n-half.
  • Combine milk with the dressing and whisk until fully incorporated.
  • This will keep in the fridge for 2 or 3 days; if you are using dried herbs its tastes better if you let the dressing sit in the ice box an hour or so before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, and thyme, will add a burst of flavor to your dressing. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can also use dried herbs.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different variations of Dijon herb dressing. Feel free to add or omit ingredients to suit your taste. For example, you could add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup for a sweeter dressing, or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • Make ahead of time: Dijon herb dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
  • Use a variety of greens: Arugula, spinach, and romaine lettuce are all good choices for a salad with Dijon herb dressing. You can also add other vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, or bell peppers.
  • Pair with grilled or roasted meats: Dijon herb dressing is a great accompaniment to grilled or roasted meats, such as chicken, steak, or salmon.

Conclusion:

Dijon herb dressing is a versatile and flavorful dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a salad dressing that will add a little zip to your meal, give Dijon herb dressing a try. You won't be disappointed!
