I love salad dressing…period.  It doesn’t matter if it’s creamy or a vinaigrette.  I just love it.  And I like to have a little salad with my dressing.  Or to put it another way, I like to have a bowl of really delicious calories!  Now, having said that, this is worth every…single…calorie!

Dijon mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, mayonnaise, olive oil, tarragon, white wine vinegar

It’s been awhile since I’ve had a fling.  Yes, The Spicy Honey is aware of my dalliance and he approves.  Right now, you’re wondering just what kind of blog post this is, aren’t you?  So, my dear gutter-minded-friends, I’m talking about tarragon and mustard!  And the ultimate question—is it a sauce?  Or is it a vinaigrette?

Orange-Poppy Seed Dressing with a Hint of Vanilla

27 Saturday Jul 2019

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Gluten Free, Make Ahead, Salad Dressing, Vegetarian

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

cider vinegar, dry mustard, frozen orange juice concentrate, garlic granules, onion, poppy seeds, sugar, vegetable oil

The basic poppy seed dressing recipe has been a part of my repertoire for years.  But, The Goddess decided it was time for a change, hence the orange and vanilla.  It’s still a little bit sweet and a little bit sharp—it really is the perfect summer dressing. Continue reading →

Mojo Verde (Green Sauce)

22 Friday Mar 2019

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Dairy, Dip, Gluten Free, Herbs, Latin Food, Make Ahead, Salad Dressing, Vegetarian

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

buttermilk, cilantro, fresh herbs, Lemon, Lime, mayonnaise, olive oil, salsa verde, sour cream

Mojo Verde (Green Sauce)This is similar to The Goddess’s Green Goddess, in that it’s creamy and green!  The herbs are entirely different, so the flavor is different.  But, delicious?  Oh, yeah.  This is terrific to dress a potato or pasta salad, smear on a chicken sandwich and it is wonderful on a nice green salad with bacon bits.  But, The Goddess loves, loves, loves to dip roasted baby potatoes into this fine elixir…heaven!  Pure heaven!

buttermilk, dry herbs, fresh herbs, Greek-style yogurt, lemon juice, mayonnaise, MSG, wasabi powder

The Goddess's Dilly Ranch Salad Dressing and DipAre we tired of Ranch Dressing yet?  Come on…you know we all love it.  Don’t we?  I’ve made Ranch for years, many times using the dry packet and embellishing it with more dill.  The Goddess loves her dill.  So why not make it from scratch?  This is where we’ve ended up…for the moment, anyway.  It’s terrific drizzled over a nice piece of salmon, on a baked potato, a shingle or on slices of garden tomatoes.  Continue reading →

Creamy Russian Dressing

14 Thursday Feb 2019

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Condiments, Make Ahead, Quickies (It's not what you think!), Salad Dressing, Vegetarian

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

cider vinegar, dry chopped onions, garlic granules, horseradish, ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, pickle beet, Spices, tomato paste

Creamy Russian DressingRussian dressing?  No.  This is really more of a spread or dip.  It’s this creamy version that absolutely makes a perfect Reuben sandwich.  I love Reuben sandwiches.  I think they are my favorite grilled sandwich and largely it’s because of a good, thick schmear of this little bit of heaven.  This is pretty decent on a burger and it absolutely makes a roast beef sandwich.  Oh, yeah…you can actually dress a salad, with it too!

anchovies, cilantro, Dijon mustard, extra virgin olive oil, Garlic, Greek-style yogurt, Light mayonnaise, lime juice, Spices, Worcestershire sauce

Creamy Caesar Dressing with South-of-the-Border FlavorsThere is a plethora of origin stories for Caesar salad.  The most common is probably the one that suggests it originated in Mexico, in the early 1920’s, made by the Cardini brothers.  Mexico…Caesar salad…’Why not try using a more Mexican flavor profile?’, The Goddess wondered…it turns out it was a pretty tasty thought to have!
