Salad Dressings

1 Tbsp raw honey
1/3 cup lemon juice
fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 tsp minced fresh tarragon
2/3 cup olive oil

Dissolve honey in lemon juice. Add pepper and tarragon, and stir, and then
add olive oil in a cruet. Shake vigorously to blend. You only need a few
Tablespoonfuls for the salad, so save the rest of the dressing for later
use.

Salad Dressing

I mix lemon juice and olive oil (about equal parts, but you can adjust to
your own taste) with salt, garlic, green onions, and herbs (oregano, basil,
and thyme) no particular amounts, just what feels right, and then I taste
and adjust.

I was thinking that a creamy dressing could be made out of this by adding a
cooked, and then cooled egg yoke and blending it all up. I haven't tried
the creamy version yet tho.

Salad Dressing

Olive oil and lemon juice in a three to one ratio
about 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
a couple of slices of fresh onion
approx. 2 gloves garlic
about 2 tsps mustard.

Whirl in the blender and toss with hot, nuked broccoli florets. Of course
it can be used on salad.


Mayonnaise

4-6 large garlic cloves, peeled
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten--at room temperature
about 2 cups olive oil--at room temperature
lukewarm water
juice of 1 lemon

Pound the garlic cloves to a paste. Add the egg yolks. Mix in a bowl with
a wooden spoon (or use a marble mortar and wooden pestle), always turning
in one direction, until the garlic and eggs have assimilated and are just
beginning to get pale. While doing this, add about 4 Tbsp. of oil, very
very slowly, drop by drop. The mixture should be thick. Add 1 Tbsp of water
and 1 tsp of lemon juice and continue stirring, adding the oil in a very
thin stream. When the mixture gets too thick again, add 1 more tsp. each
water and lemon juice. Repeat until all oil is used. If the mayonnaise
separates, Put it into a clean bowl. Add a garlic clove, 1 tsp of lukewarm
water, and 1 egg yolk. Crush and mix together. Add the separated mayonnaise
by teaspoons to the bowl, stirring constantly in one direction.



Cooked Mayo

2 egg yolks
2 tbls lemon juice
2 tbls water
1 teas dry mustard
Dash pepper
1 cup very light olive oil

In small saucepan, stir together egg yolks, lemon juice, water, mustard,
and pepper until thoroughly blended. Cook over very low heat, stirring
constantly, until mixture bubbles in 1 or 2 places. Remove from heat. Let
stand 4 minutes. Pour into blender container. Cover and blend at high
speed. While blending, very slowly add oil. Blend until thick and smooth.
Occasionally, turn off blender and scrape down sides of container with
rubber spatula, if necessary. Cover and chill if not using immediately.



Blender Mayonnaise (1 1/2 cups)

1 whole egg
1/2 teas dry mustard
1 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tbls lemon juice
1 tbls boiling water

Place the egg, mustard and 1/4 cup of the oil in an electric blender. Turn
on the motor and add the remaining 3/4 cup oil in a slow, thin stream. Add
the lemon juice and water. Refrigerate. Note: if using a food processor,
add an extra egg yolk, omit the water, use up to 1/2 cup more oil, and
adjust lemon juice to taste.



Blender Green Mayonnaise (1 3/4 cups)

3/4 cup fresh mixed greens: parsley, watercress, young spinach leaves
1/4 cup fresh basil, tarragon or dill
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
1 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
ground pepper to taste

Place the greens and the herb with the egg, egg yolk, and pepper in an
electric blender or food processor and blend until the greens are pureed.
Start adding the oil in a slow, thin stream until the mixture becomes too
thick, then add the lemon juice and continue until all the oil is used up.
If too thick, add a small amount of boiling water. Taste and refrigerate in
a covered bowl or jar. Note: This must be used within a few days; after
that the greens tend to turn sour. If you plan to keep it longer, blanch
the greens for a minute in boiling water, then squeeze dry before using.



Lemon Mayonnaise

1 egg
pepper to taste
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
3/4-1 cup/200-250 mL olive oil

Put all ingredients into a bowl or beaker. Introduce the handblender to
base of the bowl, switch it on and hold in position until the oil
emulsifies.
From Braun Handblender booklet
This is also quite nice with 1/2 teaspoon of dry mustard powder and/or
garlic added.
For a more seafood-thousand island type dressing, simply add a
tablespoonful of tomato puree.
 
'The dough has to be fresh, with a good rising during cooking, but not be too thick. The bottom of the crust must have cornmeal with some greasy residue. The sauce has to be more salty than sweet. The cheese must real cheese. The pepperoni should have a pool of grease in it once the pizza is fully cooked.'
 
old skool: (from the days when pasta was called "noodles")


2 parts vegetable oil from a gallon jug
1 part white vinegar
salt
pepper
 
Tangy orangy lemony oily makes great dressing plus herbs.

Cheesy one is good too.
