Jenny's Atomic Salad Dressing

 

If you like garlic - correction... if you LOVE garlic, this is the dressing for you. If you don't love garlic, how the heck did you get into this family, anyway?

 

And even more importantly, how can you stand to STAY?

 

6 Cloves Garlic, chopped fine or crushed

2 tbsp Lemon Juice, fresh squeezed - don't use that bottled stuff or the stuff in the fake lemon!

¼ tsp Dry Mustard

1 tsp Salt

½ tsp fresh Ground Pepper

2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese

½ C Oil - either Canola or Light Virgin Olive Oil

 

Mix together in a pint jar - or double the recipe in a quart jar - and shake well. Serve over your favorite salad greens for a salad with a definite KICK. This dressing is NOT for the faint of heart... or those who plan a romantic interlude after dinner.

 

 

Jenny's Bleu Cheese Salad Dressing

 

½ C Sour Cream

¼ C Mayonnaise

¼ C Buttermilk

1 tbsp Wine Vinegar

¼ tsp Salt

¼ tsp Dry Mustard

¼ tsp Fresh Ground Pepper

1 Pkg. Bleu Cheese (4 oz)

 

In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar, salt, mustard and pepper. Break bleu cheese into chunks and stir into mixture.

 

To dilute the flavor or thin the consistency, if desired, add equal parts of mayonnaise and buttermilk by tablespoons. This makes approximately 1 1/3 C of dressing.                                                                           

Jenny's French Garlic Salad Dressing

 

This is a wonderful dressing that used to be served by Jim and Kathy Pickens at 'Pick's Fine Foods', a great little restaurant in Britton, OK - sadly, no longer there. They had the BEST Split Pea and Ham Soup (for which I never got the recipe, unfortunately)... I used to pig out on the soup and salad there while I was in college. This makes a LOT of dressing - you might want to share with a friend .

 

Note: Contains RAW EGGS.  Emeril Lagasse (of FoodTV fame) gives us a hint:  Coddle the egg. Put whole egg on a spoon and dip it into boiling water for 40 seconds. Shock the egg in cold water to stop the cooking process.

 

 

4 Eggs

1 Pint Vegetable Oil

¼ C Powdered Garlic (NOT 'garlic salt'!)

¼ C Powdered Mustard

½ tsp salt

10 Oz Ketchup

1 Can Tomato Soup

¼ C Honey

¼ C Vinegar

 

Break eggs in mixer bowl, beat 3 minutes. Add oil slowly, reduce speed, add all dry ingredients and mix well.

 

Add ketchup, tomato soup and honey. Mix well. Add vinegar last, very slowly pouring it around the outside edge of the mixer bowl as the beaters mix the dressing. Store in refrigerator - does not keep long due to the raw eggs.
