Salad Dressing Recipes
Salad Dressings are a type of condiments used for bettering flavours of salads. There are several varieties some of the basic and popular ones are:
Vinaigrettes made from simple blends of oil, vinegar, and herbs. They are common in for most European salad recipes.
Oriental ones include oil with spices and traditional sauces mainly soy.
Dairy products like cream, yogurt, crème fraiche, are again common bases for dressings, especially in India and Eastern Europe.
Normally, most dressings are native to cultures and the rest depends on how innovative ones tastes are.
With ingredients being at your disposal, it is very simple to make your own salad dressing or opt from the many commercial varieties. Substitute high calorie by low calorie dressings like light French dressing, herbs and ginger, low sodium etc.
Apart from buying or preparing dressings, it is equally important to know, what food pairs well with which type of dressing.
Salad with a peppery flavour should be complemented with a sweeter dressing (honey ginger), while
fruit based sweeter varieties would blend better with tangy dressings (vinaigrettes).
