I love having this blog. I feel like when I cook I am cooking for more than just me and my little family and that motivates me. I do feel bad that I have not posted any pictures yet. We are in the middle of a move right now and my camera cord is still missing but I keep hoping it will turn up soon. I hope you enjoy these recipes and hopefully they will help you enjoy food more and be healthy!
A couple of weeks ago I had run out of salad dressing and thought I'll just make my own. I love balsamic vinaigrette and usually busy Newman's Own Vinaigrette but I don't love all of the ingredients on the ingredient list but it is better than most dressings. So I quickly googled balsamic Vinaigrette found a couple of recipes and combined them and this is what I came up with. It is easy, healthy and yummy!
1/2 Cup Balsamic Vinaigrette
1/2 Cup-1 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard
1 Tbsp. Honey or Agave Nectar
1 clove garlic
and salt and pepper to taste
It is quick and easy to make and has a great consistency! Tonight we had a big salad bar with spinach, romaine lettuce, green leaf lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, boiled egg, feta cheese, turkey bacon, baked chicken, strawberries and cucumber. It was a big hit and the balsamic vinaigrette was a great final touch. I think we will be doing salad bars a lot more!
