HOMEMADE " FRENCH" DRESSING (RACHAEL RAY)



Homemade

Ok -- since I'm always harping on you to buy that bag of salad, I thought I'd take you back to the basics with a garden salad. Now I know you're probably saying, "I don't need a recipe to tell me how to hack up a head of lettuce." You're right; you don't! But you just HAVE to try out that hacked up iceberg with a dressing you make from scratch. It's so much better than the bottled stuff and healthier too because you know EXACTLY what's in it! So today instead of a bag of salad, hack a leafy head. Trust me--tearing it apart is GREAT therapy after a hard day's work. Throw in some sliced cucumbers and radishes, and chopped scallions. Add some shredded carrots for color. Then stir up the dressing. This is VERY tasty! The only note I'll add is something Mom taught me years ago -- never ever ever cut lettuce with a metal utensil. It will make the leaves turn brown very quickly. Always chop lettuce with a plastic or plastic-like utensil or tear it up by hand.

Tips for Making the Best Ruby Red French Salad Dressing:

- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: The fresher the tomatoes, the better the dressing will taste. If you can, use homegrown or farmers' market tomatoes. - Choose a good quality olive oil: The olive oil is one of the main ingredients in the dressing, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is fruity and flavorful. - Use a variety of herbs: The herbs in the dressing add a lot of flavor, so don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations. Some good options include basil, parsley, chives, and thyme. - Season the dressing to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add to the dressing will depend on your personal preferences. Start with a small amount and then add more to taste. - Let the dressing sit for a while before using: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. If you can, let the dressing sit for at least 30 minutes before using.
