GINGER SALAD DRESSING



Ginger Salad Dressing image

Love ginger? You'll love this homemade salad dressing recipe! It's full of fresh ginger flavor, balanced by a touch of maple syrup and apple cider vinegar. Recipe yields 3/4 cup dressing.

Provided by Cookie and Kate

Categories     Salad Dressing

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, to taste
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, to taste
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
About 20 twists of freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a jar or small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients until fully blended. Sometimes, if your mustard is cold, it will need a few minutes to warm up before it fully incorporates.
  • Taste, and adjust if necessary-for more tartness, add another teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, or for more sweetness/balance, add another teaspoon or two of maple syrup (I usually add one).
  • This salad dressing will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. Real olive oil can solidify slightly when cold; if that happens, simple let it warm to room temperature for a few minutes or microwave it in a microwave-safe jar for no more than 15 to 30 seconds.

GRILLED SALAD WITH HERBED VINAIGRETTE



Grilled Salad with Herbed Vinaigrette image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 18m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 fillet anchovy, minced, optional
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1/4 cup roughly chopped parsley leaves
3 tablespoons chopped tarragon leaves
4 portobello mushrooms, stems removed and discarded
4 ripe plum tomatoes, halved
1 head romaine, quartered, root end attached

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.
  • Whisk the vinegar with the anchovy, if using, mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream to make a smooth, slightly thick vinaigrette. Whisk in the parsley and tarragon and set aside.
  • Lay the romaine, mushrooms, and tomatoes out on a sheet pan and lightly brush them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the mushrooms on the grill smooth side down. Grill until juices collect in the cap and mushrooms soften, about 3 minutes. Turn them over and cook until slightly charred around the edges and the center is very tender, about 3 minutes more. Put the tomatoes on the grill skin side down and grill until juicy and charred, about 6 minutes. Grill the romaine, turning to slightly char all sides, until the core end is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Divide the wedges of romaine, mushroom caps, and tomatoes among 4 plates. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salads and serve.

GREENS AND HERBS SALAD WITH ORANGE GINGER VINAIGRETTE



Greens and Herbs Salad With Orange Ginger Vinaigrette image

This is a versatile salad, so mix it up (no pun intended) however YOU like it! You can easily add sliced protein (steak or fish, etc.) and some fresh bread to make a meal out of this one. The vinaigrette was born out of a desire to use up some orange marmalade and to dress a lunch salad. (Read: light, fresh, bright) The photo has a jalepeno because I was so close to chopping some up. I think it will be great... next time! NOTE: We like our vinaigrette's more acid than oil, so if you prefer oily you'll need to probably DOUBLE the oil, and if you like sweet, add 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of sugar, too! THE SYSTEM WON'T LET ME ADD THE 1 CUP OF RADDICHIO, but you'll want to add it!

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 15m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup red leaf lettuce
1 cup green lettuce
1 cup iceberg lettuce
1 cup frisee
1 cup chard leaves
1 cup arugula
1 orange bell pepper, diced (large)
4 -8 ounces grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 English cucumber, sliced thin
1 red onion, sliced thin (small to medium)
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3 -6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (we use reduced fat)
1/2-1 cup nuts, toasted in a dry, hot pan (walnuts, cashews, etc.)
1 orange, seeded, segmented and chopped (optional)
3 tablespoons orange marmalade (chunkier is better!)
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger (I eyeball or taste this, so I'm guessing)
1/8 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground, if available
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Mix greens and herbs together.
  • Add celery, onion, bell pepper, tomatoes and cucumber (and anything else you decided to add!).
  • Prepare vinaigrette by mixing all ingredients except oil. Add oil gradually, whisking continuously until fully emulsified. (Or, if you prefer, add all ingredients to a sealed container and shake thoroughly.).
  • If you like your lettuce "marinated", toss the vinaigrette into the salad and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • BEFORE SERVING: Add feta, walnuts (and oranges, if you're using them) and protein, if any, just before serving (don't toss).
  • I hope you enjoy the salad as much as we do. It's a fresh alternative to the everyday!

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Fresh Herbs: Use fresh herbs like parsley, basil, and chives for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
  • Quality Vinaigrette: The vinaigrette is key to this salad, so make sure to use good quality olive oil and vinegar. You can also add a touch of honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
  • Don't Overdress: A little vinaigrette goes a long way, so don't overdress the salad. You can always add more if needed.
  • Let the Salad Marinate: For the best flavor, let the salad marinate in the vinaigrette for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve Immediately: This salad is best served immediately after making. The longer it sits, the more the vinaigrette will wilt the greens.
