DIJON-HERB DRESSING



Dijon-herb Dressing image

I have been trying lots of recipes from "The New American Plate" a wonderful cookbook that features dishes that are lower in saturated fats and high in flavors. This is my own rift on one of their many salad dressings. Whether you are concerned about calories or not, you're gonna enjoy this one.

Provided by justcallmetoni

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 8m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil, use extra virgin if possible
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped or 2 teaspoons dried basil
1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon nonfat dry milk powder
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • In a small bowl whisk together the mustard, vinegar, oil, basil and parsley.
  • In a separate bowl mix the powdered milk and water; it will not be the consistency of milk, instead creamier and thicker like half-n-half.
  • Combine milk with the dressing and whisk until fully incorporated.
  • This will keep in the fridge for 2 or 3 days; if you are using dried herbs its tastes better if you let the dressing sit in the ice box an hour or so before serving.
