Dreaming of Spring Dressing with Butter Lettuce, French Breakfast Radishes

Dreaming Of Spring Salad Dressing

This dressing has been in my repertoire since early 1990! It is just plain yummy on fresh greens. I have made all sorts of adaptations to the original recipe and they are all, if I may say so, excellent!  I am always fond of using fresh herbs, they add such a fresh taste!

Makes Approximately 1 1/4  Cups

½ cup each canola & EVO
1 egg
4 ½ tsp. red wine vinegar
1 ½ tsp. sugar
1 ½ tsp. mayonnaise
1 small clove garlic, smashed
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. dried tarragon, crumbled, or 2 tsp. chopped fresh
¼ tsp. Tabasco sauce
½ tsp dried thyme, or 1 tsp. chopped fresh
1 very small piece of onion

Combine everything in a blender, blend until smooth and light. Place in a jar,  chill until ready to use. Dressing will keep 3 days in the fridge.

Phyllis’ Variations on The Dressing:

Use 2 tsp. of balsamic vinegar and 2 ½ tsp. red wine vinegar for the 4 ½ tsp. red wine vinegar
Dried basil and dried oregano for the dried tarragon
Raspberry vinegar for the red wine vinegar, using the thyme & tarragon in the original dressing
