Mr. Salad Dressing

White Truffle Salad Dressing

• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp mustard
• 1 tsp white truffle flavored olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste

The white truffle flavored olive oil will bring a lot of flavor to this salad dressing.  Other ingredients can do the same for your homemade salad dressings.  Sometimes, spending a little bit more on a specialty gourmet ingredient will go along way in your recipes.

Creamy Parmesan Peppercorn Salad Dressing

• 2 tbsp low-fat mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp parmesan, grated or shredded
• 1 tsp skim milk
• 1 tsp horseradish sauce
• freshly ground peppercorns
• salt to taste

There used to be a steak, ribs, and chicken restaurant that served their salads with a creamy parmesan peppercorn salad dressing.  This version brings back memories of that dressing.  The restaurant packed their salads with cheese and onions.  It was a great salad for a great salad dressing.

Shallot Vinaigrette

• one shallot, minced
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp mustard
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• salt and pepper

The shallots in this recipe will bring a strong flavor to this vinaigrette, but it is milder than a white, yellow or red onion.  To soften the flavor further, either add more honey or add some mild mustard.
