Salad Essentials: Spicy Dressing - Two Ways image

These are the two dressings that I will be serving tomorrow at a 2:00p Do. I am making a pasta and cod dish with a lemon cream sauce (yet to work out all the details but pushing on), freshly baked rolls and a side salad. And, wine, there will always be wine.

Ingredients

PLAN/PURCHASE
SPICY/VINEGARITTE DRESSING
1/4 c oil, more on this later
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 - 3 tsp fresh cover honey
2 tsp hot sauce, i prefer frank's, or to taste
1 tsp dijon mustard
salt, kosher variety, fine grind, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
SPICY/ CREAMY DRESSING
1/2 c mayonnaise, i prefer duke's
2 Tbsp oil, more on this later
2 Tbsp red wine, dry variety
1 - 2 Tbsp hot sauce, i prefer frank's
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp white sugar, granulated variety
salt, kosher variety, fine grind, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste

Steps:

1. PREP/PREPARE
2. You will need a whisk and a bowl to make this recipe. And, some good non-reactive jars to store it in.
3. You want a lite oil for these two recipes. I like grapeseed, and even vegetable oil would work nicely. If you want a hint of additional flavor, you might want to try a lite olive oil.
4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
5. In both recipes simply combine the ingredients into a bowl and whisk until nice and smooth.
6. After whisking season with a bit of salt and pepper, to taste.
7. Store in tightly sealed non-reactive containers in the fridge, until needed.
8. PLATE/PRESENT
9. Serving Suggestions On a salad with some yummy sauteed chicken. Use as a spread on a chicken or turkey sandwich. Use as a chicken marinade for added flavor. It is an excellent dip for veggies and chicken tenders. Or use as a dressing for a chicken Sharma. Enjoy.
10. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

My mom has made this dressing forever. It's been a family favorite right next to homemade ranch dressing.
