french vinaigrette

I love a good vinaigrette

I also just love oil & vinegar but it's nice once & awhile to spice it up

my mom-in-law makes a very good vinaigrette, so I asked her for the recipe
and decided to put it on here to share with other vinaigrette lovers :)

enjoy!

French Vinaigrette

1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4-1/3 cup dijon mustard (depends on how zippy you like it!)
1 tbsp minced garlic
salt & pepper to taste

shake, pour & enjoy!

easy caesar salad dressing

i made a delicious lasagna the other day, and really wanted to have a caesar salad with it
but when i went to the fridge i realized i didn't have any caesar dressing. so i looked up recipes online, and they all called for mayo... which i also didn't have. finally, i stumbled upon this gem! it's not as thick as other caesar dressings, more vinegrette like, also, it is brown, not white - BUT it was sooo good. and i recommend it.

give it a whirl. it's a good recipe when you're in a bind!

real caesar dressing recipe

1 egg yolk
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp chopped garlic
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
dash of worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp warm water (if needed)
1 cup olive oil (i actually only used about 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup parmesan (i realize now that i'm typing this, that i totally neglected to put that in!! it would've added some good flavor. but it was still good without that, and we had parmesan on our lasagna)

put first 6 ingredients in a bowl & whisk. slowly add the olive oil until fully incorporated. if getting too thick, add the water. add the parmesan, mix well and pour over salad.
enjoy!
