Ok food perverts of #foodstr got any salad dressing strats?
Discussion
No one eats salads here, they have a side of steak with their steak 😔
Making french dressing is the most general purpose dressing.
Kind of dressing i make depends on what is in the salad
I just seen it on the list in the link. I thought I made this but I've never added tomato paste. I've never actually looked up the recipe
Tomato paste lol that site is a scam that is 100% not in french dressing
Oh, I wonder what it's like now tho.
Looking up recipes online is such a pisstake, so much crap out there. No idea what I'm doing so it's hard to tell what is bullshit too lol
For a simple ceaserdressing
65gr parmagiano
60gr egg yolk
20gr sherry vinegear
Half a can ansjovis
Half a garlic
150 gr oil
water
In a cup blend everything except the water and oil with a handblender
Slowly add the oil starting of in a drip pattern
The water is to thin it to your liking
I wonder if I'll ever do this one, the egg yolk bit isn't lazy friendly, but it sounds good. What do you do with the white of the egg? Just chuck it out the window?
And does this sort of thing keep in the fridge? 🤔
Doesnt store very long 1 2 days tops but this isnt a big recipe
I got a no egg yolk Caesar of you want it?
Is it the same but without the egg yolk lol😉?
Easier and really good😁

😂😂
I dont know how east its to get over there for non restaurant people but you can buy egg yolk only comes in like a juicy type box
But if doing it yourself you can save the egg whites for other dishes like in a chocolade mousse
but you can throw it away i wont judge
2 spoons sherry vinegear
4 spoons olive oil
1 spoon minced sjalot
1 spoon parsley chopped
1 teaspoon mosterd
Salt+pepper to taste
I never buy shallots. But I might start 🤔
For dressings they are amazing nornal onions are too strong and chives can be too little
Not spring onions? I'm a big fan 🥺
There are plenty of dressings withs spring onion in them if you like then add them you are the one eating it after all
True, but actually I think shallots are the way. And I think it's good to break or have a break from food routines. It can get very boring just eating the same go-to meals and dressings even.
Sometimes I just think about the options I know and it's depressing, should learn some more meals
Sometimes I'm at work and think, oh god what really are the options for dinner
Potatoes + something
Pasta + something
Rice + something
Is this really my life lol
(I'm also collapsing all pasta/noodle options into 'pasta' and all grain/couscous options into 'rice')
Also I'm depressed lol
In that case a beandish is more something you can add to your options like chili con carne
Oh I do know how to make that. But doesn't this often falls into rice+ in my world. Although maybe it's not really meant to come with rice?
I quite like it over a jacket potato like a proper filthy pig 🤤
If you want something really beginner friendly as a 4th option in that list
Bulgar is a really tasty replacement most supermarkets will have it and all that is needed is boiling water and letting it soak up
Bulgar is good, I v v rarely get it. There's a few things like that, pearl barley and some other things I also forget. I should actually get some
Love your willingness to try thats the first part
Best way to learn dishes is just making it recipes usally look overwhelming but once you done it
Its oh that was it ? Thing
Also I think in general the simpler, the better. But that only really works when you have good tomoatoes that taste of tomato. A lot of the time I wanna drown the fuckers cos they don't taste of anything
i like the sound of no. 13, although i must congess, i've never heard of arugula.
i usually just go for a vinaigrette type deal with garlic, mustard, olive oil, balsamic. But i need something else for variety
https://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/slideshow/salad-dressings-summer
Lemon+salt+extra virging olive oil+juices of whatever is in the salad=best dressing
Yeah I think this is good. But sometimes I wanna try something a bit wiiilllld in the dressing. But I also don't want to make a monstrosity. But in general this sounds top lol
Something more exotic:
Tahini dressing: honey, tahini, olive pomace oil, lemon, water, salt
Sweet and sour "Asian dressing": lime juice, rice vinegar, coconut palm sugar, toasted sesame oil, light soy sauce (preferably tamari or shoyu) or another more simple version - kecap manis, toasted sesame oil, lime juice
Raspberry vinaigrette: raspberries, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, extra virgin olive oil, salt, shallot
Apple vinaigrette: apple vinegar (strongest apple flavour I get from Korean double concentrated apple vinegar), linden honey, dijon mustard, salt, cracked black pepper, extra virgin olive oil (used to use EV rapeseed, but it's evil)
I know ratios would be useful, but I always make it by eye.
Simple creamy dill. Four ingredients.
