Spreads, Dressings & Sauces

Lemon Vinaigrette

This recipe is a staple and a favorite in my house, and always served with some fresh baby Arugula.  For some reason, my daughter has named this dressing “Slipper”, no one knows why. But she is often known to request “Salad with Slipper”, and we all know what she means. This recipe is enough for a few big salads, so I usually make it in my salad shaker and save the leftovers by putting the whole shaker right in the fridge. I love my OXO salad dressing shaker, you can check it out HERE.  (And no, this is not a paid sponsorship, I just really do love it!)

Spicy Miso Dressing

I adore this dressing and would pour it on anything or dip anything into it.  It’s that good.

If you can’t find Quick Miso (a liquid Miso concentrate) or something similar in your local store, you can buy it HERE.

Lemon Garlic Hummus

Disclaimer: I do not make my hummus with tahini! This is simply because I do not like tahini.  (Sorry Tahini!) Instead of tahini, I use Safflower Oil for the fat in my hummus.  This really allows the garlic and the brightness from the lemon to shine through.
