French Dressing
Jan 21st, 2011 Posted in Blog | Comments OffGood morning! Ohmugoodness can I tell you how COLD it is here this morning?? My tootsies are freezing. I think I’m going to have to find some warmer socks. Temps are at zero with windchill around -9F. Burrrrr!!! Spring can’t get here fast enough!
I am so glad it’s the weekend. Well, it’s the weekend for me because my last class was yesterday. I’m sitting here watching Throwdown with Bobby Flay. He’s doing omelets today. I am totally going to buy an omelet pan… when it warms up that is;) I think my favorite omelet is the Mitchell at Louie’s Cafe in Baton Rouge. It’s this dive that is right off LSU campus. They have the BEST food. YuUuMMmM! So I need to venture into making the perfect omelet – when it gets warmer!;)
Well the other night, when I was doing the Thousand Island Dressing, I also made a French dressing. I’m so happy with it. It’s a bit oniony but after it sits overnight, the onion is still there, but the flavors meld together so it’s not so prominent. If you aren’t crazy about onions, just half ‘em:) My friend Marcy sent me her recipes for Greek dressing and Sensational Salad. I can’t wait to give them a try:) Enjoy!
OK, HERE’S What You Need:
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1 cup ketchup
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
1 small onion, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
HERE’S What You Do:
Just blend it all together in a blender or food processor and store it in the fridge:) I’d let it sit over night before you use it though. Let those flavors get to know each other;)
