Here’s tasty salad dressing from Julia.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh chives
- 1 garlic clove finely minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Directions:
- Combine mayonnaise, molasses, mustard, lemon zest, chives, garlic, and salt in 2-cup jar with tight-fitting lid.
- Stir with fork until mixture is milky in appearance and no lumps of mayonnaise or molasses remain. Add lemon juice, seal jar, and shake until smooth, about 10 seconds.
- Add ¼ cup olive oil, seal jar, and shake vigorously until thoroughly combined, about 10 seconds.
- Repeat, adding remaining ¼ cup olive oil and vegetable oil in 2 additions, shaking vigorously until thoroughly combined after each addition.
- After third addition, vinaigrette should be glossy and lightly thickened, with no pools of oil on its surface.
- Refrigerate for up to 1 week.
- Shake briefly before using.
Instead of putting it in a jar with a lid, I used my immersion blender and I liked the results.
