Dressings

Making your own dressing is cheaper than store-bought, and taster way better! These two are just a couple of my favorite combinations. They are great add-ons to any salads, but you can use them for other things as well. The Thai Chili dressing recipe is also excellent for marinating chicken strips for a quick stir-fry. The Balsamic dressing mix is really good for marinating asparagus for grilling. Dressings and vinaigrettes have endless possibilities, explore them. Enjoy!

Thai Chili Dressing Ingredients:

Juice of 1 1/2 limes
1/4 teaspoon of red chili paste
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon of fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Salt and pepper

Preparation:

To a small bowl add the chili paste, minced garlic, cilantro, vinegar, lime juice, salt and pepper. Mix together with a whisk. Continue whisking with one hand, simultaneously adding the olive oil with the other.
