Kittencal's Creamy Italian Salad Dressing image

This dressing must chill for 6 or more hours before serving don't even think about serving it right away as the flavors intensify with chilling time, even better if made a day ahead, I have left the Parmesan as optional you may add in or omit, you may adjust all amounts to taste.

KITTENCAL'S BEST DEVILED EGGS



Kittencal's Best Deviled Eggs image

These have been a favorite for years, when I serve these at my get togethers or make them for socials and large events they are always the first to go and everyone wants the recipe, I suggest to use large, extra large or even jumbo eggs for this, I like to make the yolk filling a day ahead and refrigerate this will blend the flavors --- for a nice presentation place each egg half in a colored paper muffin liner --- all ingredient amounts may be adjusted to taste --- see my recipe#259573

Provided by Kittencalrecipezazz

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 25m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 hard-boiled eggs (I always boil a few more eggs, eat the whites then add in the yolks to increase the filling mixture!)
1/2 cup mayonnaise (I like to use half salad dressing and mayonnaise)
2 tablespoons milk (or 2 tablespoons half-and-half cream)
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried chives (or use 1 large very finely chopped green onion in place of dried chives)
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard powder
1/8-1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste, I use seasoned salt)
1/4 teaspoon paprika (a little more for dusting the eggs)
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Slice the eggs in half lengthwise; remove the yolks, and set whites aside.
  • In a small bowl, mush yolks well with a fork, leaving no small lumps.
  • Add next 10 ingredients (adjusting to suit taste) mix well to combine.
  • Spoon or pipe egg yolk mixture evenly into the whites.
  • Sprinkle with paprika.
  • Cover tightly with plastic wrap.
  • Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve (if not making the yolk mixture a day ahead it is best to prepare the eggs and refrigerate for about 5 hours before serving this will give the flavors a chance to blend and intensify).

KITTENCAL'S FAMOUS CAESAR SALAD



Kittencal's Famous Caesar Salad image

I developed this dressing years ago, and I can honestly say that you won't be able to keep your spoon out of the fridge for a taste, it is *that* good! --- although I do think the dressing is better with the anchovy it can certainly be made without them. In a pinch I have even substituted buttermilk for the half and half cream, just use about the same amount --- this dressing gets stronger with refrigeration time so a small amount of fresh garlic goes a long way! ---- usually one recipe without doubling is perfect for one large romaine lettuce, if you are serving a large crowd of people you might want to double -- salad dressing will not work for this use *only* mayonnaise, I find Hellman's brand mayonnaise works the best and for the perfect companion to this salad see my recipe#125034-------------LOWER-FAT OPTION use reduced fat mayonnaise and fat-free half and half or low-fat milk --- also see my recipe#66596

Provided by Kittencalrecipezazz

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large head romaine lettuce (washed over and thoroughly dried)
1 1/2 cups garlic-flavored croutons (or to taste, see Kittencal's Garlic Croutons)
parmesan cheese
freshly grated black pepper (to taste)
2 anchovy fillets (or to taste)
2 fresh garlic cloves (or to taste)
1 cup mayonnaise (not salad dressing Hellman's is best)
1/4 cup half-and-half cream or 1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (Hellman's Dijonnaise is best!)
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (or to taste) (optional)
buttermilk or half-and-half, for thinning

Steps:

  • In a small 2-cup mini food processor, process/mince the anchovy fillets and garlic together until finely minced (do this together and firstly, otherwise it will not get minced properly with the other ingredients).
  • Add in the remaining ingredients, and process for 30 seconds, or more until well mixed.
  • Adjust seasonings to taste.
  • Thin with buttermilk (or milk) for a thinner consistency if desired.
  • Store in fridge, covered in a glass container for 3 or more hours before using (the flavors become stronger when left in the fridge for a longer time).
  • Toss desired amount of dressing with Romaine lettuce and croutons.
  • Sprinkle with more grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
