Go ahead, take a shot of salad dressing.
January 18, 2011 | Category: I'm an Eater
I got my first taste of this salad dressing when a dear friend brought it over with a meal she had made for my crew right after Nola was born. From the moment the heavenly concoction hit my lips, I wanted to drink it right out of it’s re-purposed glass bottle.
Since asking begging her for the recipe, I’ve probably made it weekly.
And I make it for everyone I know. If I love you, I will bring you this dressing. It’s been proven. I’ve made it for her, and for her, and I think her too. I get email request for the recipe so much that I finally made it a google document that I share with every tom, dick and harry that ends in a .com.
So it’s time. Time to share it with the masses. It’s so good that it would be a sin to keep it from you for any longer than I already have.
What you will need:
2-3 garlic cloves, grated.
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. ground pepper
1 tsp. sea salt
1/2 lemon, squeezed (I use this squeezer
2 tablespoons tarragon wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Mash the salt n’ peppa!, grated garlic cloves, and mustard together with the back of a spoon.
Then, whisk in the tarragon white wine vinegar, lemon and oil:
Take a good ole’ shot of the heavenly mixture (go state!) (just kidding, don’t do shots of salad dressing, you freak):
And store it in a salad dressing shaker
You guys, I’ve just given you a gift. My husband says this is one of the only reasons he can eat “his greens” on a daily basis. I literally lick the bowl. No judging, please.
Did I mention that you have to garnish the salad with copious amounts of freshly grated Parmesan cheese? Go ahead, get crazy with the cheese. Because it’s so good. You’re welcome.

Leeeeeeeeeeeeove homemade salad dressing! I was just thinking I needed a new recipe and here it is! Thanks for sharing;-) PS: Do you ever add dried cherries to your greens? So delish! I also like to throw in some homemade sugar coated walnuts–just pop them in a pan on the stove (Med heat) with some sugar, stir til the sugar melts and you have gourmet in your own home kitchen.

oh yeah, Walnuts. I make them the same way, but add just a sprinkle of red pepper to the sugar. Trust me, so good.

I do believe that very dressing has made it into my fridge as well. Stumbling this for safe keeping…and bowl licking! =)

This stuff rocks! We NEVER had bottled dressing growing up and this was one of my dad’s favorites in his dressing repertoire.
You totally want to take a shot of this!

Crazy question – Can I run the garlic through a garlic press, or do I need to grate it with a traditional grater? Went out and bought the tarragon vinegar. I can NOT wait to make this stuff!
Thanks for sharing it!

Bless you child! Truly you are doing the Lord’s work! Amazing dressing. I too licked the bowl, though I do this with any dressing I consider above average. Also, drinking straight dressing doesn’t make you a freak. It’s just a sign of total lack of restraint and human decency.

I’ll have to make this dressing! It sounds much like my favorite chicken and vegetable sauce. If you like the salad dressing so much you might like to pour some of this on chicken sometime
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons oil
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon salt

I use grapes, garlic, lemon and mustard on my salad dressing.

This is the absolute best salad dressing I have ever had. I didn’t have the tarragon wine vinegar so I just used balsamic vinegar and added rosemary. I want to eat my body weight in salad just so I can eat more of this dressing. You are amazing!!!
[Reply]
April 12th, 2011 @ 6:17 pm
Could be good, but then you put it in the State shotglass.
I’m surprised you could take a picture of the salad in the split second before what came out of the container made everything wilt.

I made this a few months ago. I just had to come back to say – HOLY CRAP. I am obsessed. I eat it daily, tossed with arugula and kale. I NEVER wanted salad as a main meal before. But this… this is amazing and now I actually crave salad. Sometimes I get so excited thinking about it, I have to eat lunch at like 10:30am because I can’t wait til noon. (I should probably see someone about that…) But seriously, thank you for this recipe. It’s made me healthier because I now eat my greens daily!
