Method

Basic Vinegarette:

  1. Place all ingredients in a screw top jar and shake.  Use immediately!

Basic Mayonnaise:

  1. In a food processor, add the egg yolks, vinegar and pepper.
  2. Process for 10 - 15 seconds or until well combined.
  3. With the motor still running slowly add the cup of olive oil until the mixture is thick and creamy.
  4. If the mixture is too thick, add a bit of hot water to thin down.

Kara's No-Egg Mayonnaise:

  1. Combine all together thoroughly.
  2. Use in coleslaw or whenever a recipe calls for mayo. Can use less mustard if you find it too hot as it has a bit of bite!

Fresh Cucumber Dressing:

  1. In a blender, combine the yoghurt, cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper.
  2. Blend until smooth and refrigerate until chilled.  Serve with a garden salad.

Italian Herb Dressing:  

  1. Put all ingredients into a jar and shake.
  2. Taste it once it is mixed and add more of the ingredients to suit how you like it.
  3. Before using, let it sit for at least two hours to let the flavours infuse.
  4. If you store it in the fridge the oil will go a bit hard - take out of fridge an hour or so before use to let the oil soften then shake or just store in cupboard.

Mustard and Honey Dressing:

  1. Place all ingredients into a jar and shake well to combine.

Red Wine Dressing:

  1. Whisk all ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate until needed.
