Honey Mustard

Add to Blender in the following order:
� cup white vinegar
� cup honey
2 Tbls. Dijon Mustard

Blend a few seconds

Slowly add two cups Wesson oil. Gradually increase blender speed as dressing thickens.


Poppy Seed Dressing

Add to blender in the following order:
� cup white vinegar
1/3 cup diced onion

Blend until onion is pureed with the vinegar

Add:
2 Tbls poppy seed
1 Tbls dry mustard
� cup sugar

Add:
Two cups Wesson oil, slowly, and increase blender speed as the dressing thickens.

I have found the basic rule of 3 to 1 for oil to acid to be a good one. I like to mix extra virgin olive oil and canola/veg. oil. I find using all olive oil to be too bitter.

Dave's Balsamic Vinaigrette

3 parts oil (olive oil/veg oil)
1 part balsamic vinegar
A few good dashes of Worcestershire sauce
1-2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tsp dried basil
Fresh ground pepper
I clove diced garlic
~ 1 tbsp real maple syrup or honey
1 - 2 tsp. anchovy paste

I actually don�t measure anything, but just eye it up. You can omit the anchovy if you wish but it adds a great layer of flavor. Add more or less maple syrup or honey to your liking. I hope you like it.

This is my Mother's recipe. She used to keep it made up all the time. As my note says, this dressing is what made her pimento cheese taste so good. I hope you enjoy as much as our family has. This and over 300 other family comfort food recipes will be in my cookbook "Red Eye Gravy & Snow Ice Cream" when I get it finished.
