5 Fruity Salad Dressing Recipes image

Provided by Sue Moran

Number Of Ingredients 23

the juice and zest of 1 large lime
a palmful of fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (plus more if necessary)
salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste
1/2 large shallot (rough chopped)
juice of 1/2 pink or red grapefruit (approx. 1/3 cup)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp sherry or champagne vinegar
a dab of honey (about a tsp)
salt and fresh black pepper to taste
6 oz box of blackberries
1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar
juice and zest of 1 lemon
a heaping Tbsp of fresh tarragon leaves
1 Tbsp whole grain mustard
1/4 plus extra if necessary walnut oil
salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste
a heaping cup of strawberries (about 10)
1 Tbsp fresh rosemary leaves
juice of 1/2 lime
1/4 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp white balsamic vinegar
salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • For the Lime Cilantro Vinaigrette: Put the lime juice and zest into the bowl of a mini food processor. Add the cilantro and process until the cilantro is very finely chopped. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. With the machine running, drizzle in the oil slowly through the small hole (s) in the top. Stop the machine and taste the dressing. If it is too tangy, drizzle in a little more oil. Season with salt and fresh black pepper to taste. Refrigerate until needed.
  • For the Shallot and Pink Grapefruit Dressing: Put the shallot and the grapefruit juice in the bowl of a small food processor. Blend until the shallot is very finely processed. If using a whisk, mince your shallot as finely as possible. With the machine going, drizzle in the oil through the top. Stop the machine, add the vinegar and honey, then process again to combine. Add the salt and pepper to taste.
  • For the Blackberry Vinegar: Rinse the berries and put them in a small saucepan. Heat over low to medium heat for about 5 minutes until the berries start to break down and release their juice. Add the vinegar, bring back to a full boil, and then take off the heat. Let cool a bit and then process in a small food processor until the berries are completely pureed. Strain through a mesh sieve, pushing the thick juice through but leaving the seeds behind. Bottle and keep in the refrigerator.
  • For the Lemon Mustard and Tarragon Vinaigrette: Put the lemon juice, zest, and tarragon in a small processor. Process until well blended. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary. Slowly drizzle in the oil as the machine is running. Stop and taste, add more oil if it is too tangy. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • For the Roasted Strawberry Vinaigrette: Set oven to 450F Halve the strawberries and spread them out on a parchment lined baking sheet. Roast for about 15 minutes. Transfer the strawberries to the bowl of a mini food processor. Add the rosemary leaves, lime juice and vinegar. Process until the berries are pureed. Slowly drizzle in the oil through the hole in to top as the machine runs. Add the salt and pepper to taste.
