Greek salad dressing
·
½ medium onion
·
5ml (1 tsp) fresh parsley
·
5ml (1 tsp) fresh thyme
·
5ml (1 tsp) fresh oregano
·
5ml (1 tsp) fresh basil
·
400ml olive oil
·
400ml vegetable oil
·
5ml (1 tsp) garlic paste or 1 garlic clove,
finely chopped
·
45ml (3 tbsp) Dijon mustard
·
Juice of 2 lemons
·
120ml sherry vinegar
·
15ml (1 tbsp) brown sugar
·
1 – 2g xanthan gum (available at good health
stores)
How to do it
1. Finely chop the onion and herbs.
2. Combine the olive and vegetable oils in a separate jug.
3. Place remaining ingredients into a mixing bowl, except the xanthan
gum, and then very slowly, while hand whisking, incorporate the oils with the
other ingredients (do not use a blender as it will turn the dressing green).
4. When combined, adjust seasoning and add the xanthan gum in small amounts
until the mixture is thick enough to cling to the dressing ingredients.
