Red Wine Vinaigrette

1/2 cup red wine vinegar

3 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 1/2 tablespoons honey

2 teaspoons salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 cup olive oil

Directions:

Blend well with whisk or blender then drizzle over salad.

A good rule of thumb when making vinaigrettes is to use a 1 to 3 ration of vinegar to oil.

Alternative: 

For making a raspberry balsamic vinaigrette simply replace red wine vinegar with balsamic and add a 1/4 -1/2 pint of fresh purred raspberries, plus sugar depending on tartness of raspberries and taste.

Red Wine Vinaigrette

In cooking class. We had extra ingredients from his other class because of the class cancelation of the cold weather. We made a vinaigrette dressing for our salad. He said that for any vinaigrette main ingredients are oil and vinegar. So you can mix any kind of vinegar with oil, just get the ratio right that there is more oil than vinegar.

French Dressing Recipe

I also made French Dressing for the first time at the Agrace's Kitchen. I added everything in a large bowl and used a spatula to mix. The oil wasn't mixing well. I worried if I added to much, but then told myself I followed the recipe. Then I thought I needed a better tool, which I found a whisk to mix. It was much efficient in mixing the oil and sauces together.

LIST:
3 cup ketchup
1 cup Dijion mustard
1 cup Cider vinegar
2 cup oil
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbs worcestershire
1 tsp tabasco

Mix everything in a bowl very well.

Basil Green Goddess Dressing

I made the dressing without the little fish paste at Agrace's Kitchen. It gave a pretty lemon green color.

LIST:
1 cup good mayonnaise
1 cup chopped scallions(spring onion), white and green parts (6 to 7 scallions)
1 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
2 teaspoons chopped garlic (2 cloves)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup sour cream

HOWTO:
Place the mayonnaise, scallions, basil, lemon juice, garlic, anchovy paste, salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the sour cream and process just until blended. (If not using immediately, refrigerate the dressing until ready to serve.)
