SALAD/DIP ESSENTIALS: MAYO/MUSTARD/HONEY DELIGHT



Salad/Dip Essentials: Mayo/Mustard/Honey Delight image

I came up with this recipe a few years ago. It is easy/peasy to make and is my go-to dressing for a nice Summer salad out by the pond. But it is also amazing as a dipping sauce for things like chicken tenders and fish. Will be serving it tonight on a salad of greens, veggies, and sliced deli turkey. So, you ready... Let's...

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

PLAN/PURCHASE
1 c mayonnaise, plain variety, i prefer duke's
1/4 c creamy dijon mustard, i prefer grey poupon
1 Tbsp fresh clover honey
1 Tbsp dill pickle juice
salt, kosher variety, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. Homemade Mayonnaise To be sure, there are some good store-bought mayo's on the market (my all-time favorite is Duke's) If you live in the South, you have probably seen it on the shelves of your local grocer; however, as you travel North, it becomes as scarce as hen's teeth. If you would like to take a stab at making your own (it really is not all that difficult), check out this recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/spread/mayonnaise-essentials-faux-duke-s-version.html?r=1
  • 3. If you do not want to use pickle juice, you can always substitute an equal amount of freshly squeezed lemon juice, or perhaps some apple-cider vinegar.
  • 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 5. Whisk all the ingredients together, and store in a non-reactive container in the fridge until required.
  • 6. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 7. Use on salads, drizzle over fish or chicken, or as a dip. Enjoy.
  • 8. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

DRESSING ESSENTIALS: SUMMER TOMATO & HONEY DELIGHT



Dressing Essentials: Summer Tomato & Honey Delight image

This dressing is a Summer delight. Nice fresh garden tomatoes, lovingly blended with fresh clover honey, and extra virgin olive oil. The base of the recipe comes from my French dressing; however, I lightened it up with fresh clover honey, and left out some of the heat. It's light, and perfect for those warm Summer days, when...

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

PLAN/PURCHASE
1/2 c vegenaise, or plain mayonnaise
2 large garden fresh tomatoes
1/2 c fresh clover honey
2 Tbsp yellow onion, chopped
1/4 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp white pepper, freshly ground, or to taste
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 c olive oil, extra virgin

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • 3. Blanch, peel, roughly chop the tomatoes, and drain the excess liquid.
  • 4. Add all the ingredients, except the olive oil, to a blender, or food processor fitted with an S-Blade.
  • 5. Blend until the ingredients are completely liquefied.
  • 6. Chef's Note: I'm using white pepper; as opposed to black pepper because it has a nice sweet heat.
  • 7. Chef's Note: You can't over-blend this dressing, so go for it.
  • 8. Leaving the blender on high, slowly drizzle the olive oil into the ingredients, until they begin to thicken slightly.
  • 9. Chef's Note: Slowly adding oil in this manner is called creating an emulsion.
  • 10. Cover, and place in the fridge overnight before using for the first time.
  • 11. Chef's Note: This dressing will stay fresh in the fridge for 5 to 7 days... that is, if it lasts that long.
  • 12. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 13. Serve over some fresh Summer greens. Enjoy.
  • 14. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
