Cooking Tricks: 16 Quick Salad Dressings

Tired of always dressing your salad in the same way? With the arrival of summer, salads The dishes are becoming king of the kitchen, and today we have a very special trick to make salads more appetizing with 16 dressings that cannot be missing in your salads. They are very easy and very fast:

Vinaigrette

It is one of the classics. To make it quick, add salt and pepper to a bowl, add the vinegar and mix well. Once the salt has dissolved in the vinegar, add the oil (triple the amount of vinegar), and mix until it emulsifies (so that it loses its transparency and thickens a bit). This way you will give more flavor to the normal vinaigrette.

French dressing

It is perfect for use in green leafy salads. To prepare it, add a tablespoon of honey and a tablespoon of mustard to the previous vinaigrette that we have prepared. Emulsify everything well until these two ingredients are fully incorporated. Delicious!

Yogurt Sauce

It is perfect for salads with cucumber, potatoes or green salads. It is one of the keys to salads in oriental and Arab cuisine because they are delicious. Mix the natural yogurt with oil, vinegar and a few crushed mint leaves. Another option is to use half the amount of yogurt and the other half of fresh cheese.

Mayonnaise

It is great for any dish and in salads that have carrots and cabbage, they are perfect. To prepare it, it is best to make the homemade mayonnaise in the blender, putting an egg, 200 ml of olive oil, two tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice, salt and a little mustard. Beat everything until you get a homogeneous mixture and you will see how delicious it is.

Lima

The lime is perfect and most refreshing in salads. It gives them that touch of acidity necessary to make it refreshing. To prepare it, put the juice of a lime, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and a little salt in a container. Emulsify everything and add it to your favorite salad.

Pink sauce

With the homemade mayonnaise that we have prepared in the previous dressing, we are going to prepare a pink sauce to accompany our salads. For this you will need two tablespoons of that homemade mayonnaise, a tablespoon of keptchup, a dash of whiskey and a dash of orange juice. Mix all the ingredients and voila!

Tomato vinaigrette

It is a dressing that is perfect in salads with mozzarella cheese. To stop it, mix 3 servings of olive oil, one of balsamic balsamic vinegar, salt and two tablespoons of tomato jam. Emulsify everything and it will be perfect.

Garlic and rosemary dressing

In a small bottle, prepare virgin olive oil, 1 large clove of garlic and a sprig of fresh rosemary. Place the garlic clove with skin in the jar, clean the rosemary well and dry it. Once dry we put it in the bottle and fill everything with extra virgin olive oil. Let it rest in a dark place for at least a month, so that it takes in all the aromas. It is perfect for salads.

Mexican dressing

If you want to give your salad a spicy touch, this is your dressing. Prepare in a container 4 tablespoons of kepchut, a little cayenne, a tablespoon of tomato sauce, three tablespoons of lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Emulsify everything and you will have a perfect dressing.

Herb and lemon dressing

Herb and lemon dressing: Mix 4 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/3 cup of chopped parsley, two tablespoons of lemon juice, three tablespoons of fresh mint, 1/2 tablespoon of dried oregano, a clove of garlic, salt and Pepper. Chop the garlic clove well and mix it with the rest of the ingredients.

Peanut butter and walnuts

It may be a consistent dressing, but it will certainly add a unique touch to your salad. It is indicated when we have made a simple and somewhat insipid salad. If you only have a little lettuce, then this is your best dressing.

For this you need a tablespoon of peanut butter, to which you will add five peeled walnuts, two tablespoons of water and a little lemon juice. We will mix everything very well in a bowl and we will have the perfect accompaniment for what was going to be a very bland salad.

Olive dressing

Yes, olives can also be integrated into the salad. But in this case, we will make a rich dressing with them. It is a question of chopping half a dozen olives stuffed with anchovies with as much of the black olives. We add half a teaspoon of oregano with half a clove of garlic. All well mashed and ready to serve.

Greek yogurt sauce and pickles

In this case, it is enough to crush a Greek yogurt with two or three pickles, a little basil or mint and of course, salt and pepper to taste. Quick and simple but with that touch also delicious.

Cesar dressing

Although it has many ingredients, it is prepared in less than a minute. You will have to add the following ingredients to the blender glass: One egg, four canned anchovies, 50 ml of sunflower oil for a milder flavor or olive oil for a more intense result. One teaspoon of Perrins or Worcester sauce, half of apple cider vinegar, another teaspoon of mustard, one of lemon juice, half a clove of garlic, 50 grams of Parmesan cheese and a little pepper. Surely you are already savoring the final result!

Orange dressing

For both salads and legumes, we have the orange dressing. Rich and simple. To do this, you need half an orange and half a lemon. You will add two tablespoons of mustard, a little pepper, salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Whisk everything together and serve it on your favorite dishes.

Practical tips to keep in mind in your dressings

One of the most basic ingredients in dressings is oil. Keep in mind that if the salad already has some fatty ingredient like avocado, we can add less quantity. If you want to add the acid touch, which also have this type of sauces, nothing like a little balsamic vinegar. If you don't have it at home, you can substitute it for the juice of any of the citrus fruits you know.

Of course, many people choose to add rather the sweetest point. It is also possible, because as we see, the dressings can be the most varied. In this case, you will get it with a little honey and for the riskiest, a little jam.
You can store your dressing in a tightly closed jar and in the fridge. Of course, always remember to remove it a few minutes before consuming. In this way, we will avoid that the oil is too dense due to the cold chain.
