Salad Essentials Andys Secret Dressing Recipes

SALAD ESSENTIALS: SPICY DRESSING - TWO WAYS

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. You will need a whisk and a bowl to make this recipe. And, some good non-reactive jars to store it in.
• 3. You want a lite oil for these two recipes. I like grapeseed, and even vegetable oil would work nicely. If you want a hint of additional flavor, you might want to try a lite olive oil.
• 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 5. In both recipes simply combine the ingredients into a bowl and whisk until nice and smooth.
• 6. After whisking season with a bit of salt and pepper, to taste.
• 7. Store in tightly sealed non-reactive containers in the fridge, until needed.
• 8. PLATE/PRESENT
• 9. Serving Suggestions On a salad with some yummy sauteed chicken. Use as a spread on a chicken or turkey sandwich. Use as a chicken marinade for added flavor. It is an excellent dip for veggies and chicken tenders. Or use as a dressing for a chicken Sharma. Enjoy.
• 10. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

SALAD ESSENTIALS: ANDY'S SECRET DRESSING

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• Chef's Note: I have two types of recipes that I create: 1. Recipes I make for my clients and/or my houseguests. 2. Recipes I make for myself. The recipes I make for others tend to be based on my years of experience on what people like; conversely, the recipes I make for myself trend more towards what I personally like. This recipe is in the latter category.
• Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
• Add the sour cream and the lemon juice to a bowl and whisk together. Then add the buttermilk, and white pepper.
• Chef's Tip: Once I whisk the sour cream and lemon juice together, I then add the buttermilk to the desired consistency. I find that 2 tablespoons of buttermilk are just about right for me. I then add the white pepper to give it a bit of a kick.
• Chef's Note: If you can give it an hour or two in the fridge, it will help give the ingredients a chance to know one another.
• OPTIONAL ITEMS I listed a few optional items that I like to use to switch things around a bit; however, feel free to add any items that will make it your own.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Drizzle on some salad greens, or possibly a nice sautéed chicken breast. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
