BASIL VINAIGRETTE



Here is a recipe for a yummy, quick and easy basil salad dressing. If you have a blender it works perfect for making this recipe.  I use my bullet for easier clean up.  My motto for salad dressings is to keep it simple and keep it fresh. I let the dressing sit in the fridge overnight so that the flavors really infuse.

You will need:
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup white wine vinegar
1/3 cup basil
2 tbls mustard (a nice dijon or german works great)
½ cup olive oil
salt and pepper

Add the lemon juice, vinegar, course chopped basil, mustard,  salt and pepper  in a blender. Pulse the mixture. Then add the olive oil. Combine thoroughly.  I love it on top of a grilled chicken salad.  If you want to kick this recipe up you can always add a fresh mango to the blender.  

Enjoy!

Dill Vinaigrette

Dill Vinaigrette

I'm always looking for great salad dressings recipes.  In Casa Martino we only make our dressings as the bought dressings just don’t taste yummy to us. I've wanted an oil and vinegar dill recipe for a long time and this is a keeper!


  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoons agave nectar
  • 2 teaspoon dill weed (chopped)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Combine the oil, vinegar, sugar, dill weed, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, dry mustard
and pepper. Blend until smooth, cover and refrigerate until chilled.


The 1st night we had it over cucumber and radish salad with ribs and corn.


The 2nd night we had it in a chicken salad and I threw in some cabbage, carrots, avocado, celery, almonds - oh ya!!
