GRETCHEN ANNE’S AND HAZEL MARGUERITE’S SALAD DRESSINGS

Gretchen Anne’s Vinaigrette Salad Dressing

2 or 3 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar (to taste)
2 or 3 generous dashes salt
8 grinds black pepper (to taste)
¼ cup dry mustard or generous squeeze of Beaver Brand Hot Mustard
1 tbsp sugar (to taste)
½ cup canola oil and olive oil (¼ cup each) or ¼ cup canola oil and ¼ cup almond oil.

Whisk all ingredients together and then with a wire whisk add ½ cup oil. Dress salad lightly. Don’t Drown.

This dressing can be tweaked to one’s personal taste. The most important thing is to add the oil slowly, whisking all the while, creating a thick emulsion which can be stored in glass in the refrigerator.


Hazel Marguerite’s Famous French Dressing

2 cloves garlic minced
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tblsp wine vinegar
¼ cup ketchup
¼ cup sugar (to taste)
1 tsp Worchester Sauce
Sherry (to taste) (Happily, my mother was generous.)

Same directions as above. Vigorously whisk ingredients together and store in glass jar in refrigerator.

I have been blessed with two great cooks and salad chefs, my wife and my mother.
