Recipe: Try My Easy Blender Potato or Macaroni Salad Dressing

This dressing is a bit lighter than your usual regular mayo-based version, but tastes just as rich.



I was in the mood for potato salad and decided to make a batch this morning.  The dressing I prefer is this one for the blender that has a bit lighter taste than a straight mayo-based version.   My recipe uses prepared mustard, milk, less vinegar than some other recipes to a tad of sugar, pepper, onion, salt, and pepper to curb the mayonnaise in a delicious way. 

Besides macaroni salad, you can store any extra in the refrigerator for next time or use on baked potatoes or over a green salad for a wonderful change of pace.  

I hope that you decide to give my recipe a try because I think that you’ll love it.

This dressing is also great on baked potatoes to green salads, if you have any left.


½ cups of milk
1 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of sugar
1 tablespoon of prepared mustard
1 small onion, quartered
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup of mayonnaise or Salad dressing
1 tablespoon of white vinegar
paprika to sprinkle on top


Place the onion that you have quartered into your blender along with everything except the mayo and vinegar.  Put on chop mode, then blend a few seconds longer before adding the mayo and vinegar.  Pulse until you get a creamy consistency.

Pour over your waiting potato salad.  

Sprinkle paprika over the top, then cover and refrigerate until cold and ready to serve.

ENJOY!

Though extremely appetizing, creamy salad dressings often can have more calories in a few tablespoons that a total meal.  Of course, you can always have the option of dipping a dry salad just for the lightest way to eat it.  Nonetheless, it isn’t the same.  But, what if I told you that the recipe that I have for you is more friendly for your diet and will fool your taste with its satisfying creaminess, spices and herbs while being more nourishing with cottage cheese in the base at the same time?

Recipe: Easy Food Processor Salad Dressing Nuts Style!


This salad dressing is extra delicious with the addition of one fresh green pepper, an entire medium sized onion, and a clove of garlic that you process first before combining with the rest of the ingredients.  A refreshing twist comes from the orange and lemon juices that have a wonderful way to heighten the taste with that bit of citrus.  

Allow those awesome flavor molecules time to properly mingle in your refrigerator.  If you do, the wait will reward your taste buds with a superb salad dressing that will compliment those greens in magnificent style!

If you prefer a less sweet dressing, no problem.  All you need to do is cut the amount of sugar in half.

1 medium onion
1 large clove of garlic
1/4 cup of olive or canola oil
1/3 cup of orange juice

1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper

Clean and then process you green pepper that you cut in pieces along with the cut onion, and the garlic.

Add the orange juice, oil, lemon juice, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper next and keep processing until you have the smooth texture of your liking.

Keep this dressing in the refrigerator covered for about two hours first so those flavors can percolate!
