I just love hazelnut oil & sub it often in the normal vinaigrette.

Barb, I am so glad you tried it and liked it! It's one of Julia's most useful sauces.

I love this dressing on Spinach Salad (w/bacon, mushrooms, avocado, hard-boiled eggs, sesame seeds)

Spinach Salad (with bacon, mushrooms, avocado, hard-boiled eggs, sesame seeds)

Dressing, combine in blender:
1 cup canola or vegetable oil
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 - 1/3 cup chopped onion (go easy on the onion, start with 1/4 cup, adding more if desired)
1 tbsp Worcestorshire sauce
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup catsup
dash of salt

Pour over salad layered with:

fresh baby spinach leaves
hard boiled eggs, chopped
fresh mushrooms, sliced
bacon, fried crisp and crumbled (can be omitted for a vegetarian salad)
sesame seeds, lightly toasted
optional but very good: fresh bean sprouts, avocado cubes or slices

No worries Marg, it's turning into a nice thread of yummy-sounding salads.

Interesting - I've never eaten bok choy raw before.

I am totally addicted to REC: Lemon Tarragon Vinagrette

It's so amazing on cooked vegetables, salad, chicken tossed with roasted corn and artichokes and green beans, the list just goes on and on...

I make it whenever I can find fresh tarragon, which, sadly, does not seem to be a grocery staple any more and I never see it at the farmer's markets.


Lemon Tarragon Vinagrette
from One Upon a Tart

Juice of one lemon
(a little of the zest)
1 Tbl minced fresh tarragon (if you can't find fresh just forget it)
1 Tbl dijon mustard
1/2 c olive oil
pinches of salt and 10 grinds of pepper

pop it all in a jar and shake shake shake!
