Salads Jimmy Trinh Period 7/8  Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing

 3 to 4 garlic cloves, crushed  ¼ cup fresh lemon juice or white wine vinegar  ¼ teaspoon salt  1/8 teaspoon ground pepper  1 to 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, or to taste  Few drops red pepper or Tabasco sauce  ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese  1 cup extra virgin oil

 1. Place the garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and cheese in the container of a blender; process until mixture is smooth.  2. With motor running, add the oil in a very thin stream through the center of the blender’s lid until all oil is incorporated. Dressing should have a creamy-like consistency. Store in the refrigerator.  Makes about one cup

 I liked this recipe because of the taste and texture of the dressing. The nutritional value is not that bad it has some cheese, fats and oils, and some of the fruit group. The Dietary Guideline would be under the low in fat and low in sugar category. It is pretty balanced. I would not want to change the recipe in any way. I think it is good enough as is. I would serve it with a nice caesar salad.  Rating: Easy  THAI DRESSING! Lindsay Paul period 5/6

1/4 cup - peanut butter 1/4 cup - water 2 T. - lime juice 2 T. - soy sauce 2 - cloves minced garlic 2 T. - granulated sugar 1/4-1/2 tsp. - crushed red chilies Blend all ingredients in blender until well mixed. Refrigerate until ready to use. Makes 3/4 cup. Review: This recipe was ‘different’ but tasted really good. It had a mix of completely different ingredients that I wouldn’t normally think about putting together. I don’t think that dietary guidelines were met, because there is a lot of sugar and salt. I wouldn’t change anything about this recipe, so I would serve it either on a garden salad, or even plain grilled chicken. This is definitely an easy recipe, because all you have to do is put everything in the blender together and mix rating: SUPER EASY! Just blending ingredients in a blender makes an easy and quick dressing.

<span style="color: #ff6600; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; font-size: 130%;">Review: <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> I really enjoyed this recipe because of all the different ingredients blended together to make a great salad dressing. I love peanut butter and for it to be put into a salad dressing is so neat. The only nutritional value of this recipe is it contains fat from the peanut butter and lots of herbs and flavoring ingredients like salt, sugar, lemon juice, soy sauce, and garlic. The dietary guidelines are not met, because the recipe contains to much fat from the peanut butter and sugar and salt. This salad dressing was very delicious, but if you were on a diet you would not want to use this on your salad. I would not change this recipe at all because I think it has a very unique taste and I would serve it with roman lettuce and chicken with croutons.

And the oil, vinegar, sugar, ketchup, salt, Worcestershire sauce and onion. Shake until the sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate and shake well before using. I liked this recipe because it tasted really good and reminded me of the dressing you get when you go out to a nice restaurant. When I first tasted it I fell in love with the recipe It meets the dietary guidelines because the dressing includes onion white wine vinegar. For any of the holidays I plan on making this for my family. ==

 * Ingredients:**

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> **Directions:** Combine all ingredients in small bowl and whisk to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper.


 * Review:** I thought that the dressing was very good. It was basic and easy to make, but still gave a good flavor. The nutritional value of the salad dressing is only fats and oils. The dietary guidelines are not met. I would not change the recipe because it is used sparingly on a vegetable salad, which makes up for the dressing in nutritional value. The recipe is very easy to make because all you have to do is combine the ingredients well.


 * Rating:** Very Easy
