Sweet Parsley Dressing Recipes

SIMPLY SWEET BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE DRESSING

Steps:

• Mince the garlic with a garlic press or a high-quality chef's knife.
• Measure all the other ingredients and add everything to your blender or food processor. With variable speed units, start with a low speed and then gradually increase it to a higher speed until the mixture is perfectly smooth.
• If you don't have a blender or a food processor, simply add all the ingredients to a jar with a twist off lid or even a bowl and just shake or whisk until everything's well-mixed.
• Use the dressing on a salad or as a marinade for other dishes. Transfer any leftover dressing to an airtight sealed container and store it in the fridge for up to 10 days.

CREAMY SHALLOT AND PARSLEY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, parsley, shallot, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender. Add egg yolk. Blend together for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Keep the blender running as you add olive oil in a long, steady stream. Continue to blend until fully emulsified. Serve immediately.

SWEET VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• With food processor running, drop garlic and parsley down feed tube and let process until garlic is minced.
• Turn off machine and remove cover, add all remaining ingredients except salt and pepper, replace cover and process for several seconds until well blended.
• Taste and add more honey if you wish, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Keep bottled in the fridge and shake well before using.
• Makes enough to dress about 2 salads; also makes a great marinade for chicken breasts.

"SIMPLE IS BEST" DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F. Butter a 13x9x2" baking dish and set aside. Scatter bread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until dried out, about 1 hour. Let cool; transfer to a very large bowl.
• Meanwhile, melt 3/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onions and celery. Stir often until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add to bowl with bread; stir in herbs, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in 1 1/4 cups broth and toss gently. Let cool.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk 1 1/4 cups broth and eggs in a small bowl. Add to bread mixture; fold gently until thoroughly combined. Transfer to prepared dish, cover with foil, and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of dressing registers 160°F, about 40 minutes. (Note: Dressing can be made one day ahead up to this point. Uncover the dressing, let cool, then cover again and chill. The next day, proceed with the final bake as described below.)
• Bake dressing, uncovered, until set and top is browned and crisp, 40-45 minutes longer (if chilled, add 10-15 minutes).

PARSLEY & CAPER DRESSING

Steps:

• Finely chop the capers and parsley by hand.
• Tip the chopped parsley and capers into a bowl and stir through the mustard, olive oil and vinegar to make a dressing. Alternatively, tip everything into a mini chopper and blitz until it's as smooth as you want it. Serve with the lamb chops and potatoes. Will keep chilled for up to three days.
