5 new dressings to try

I saw these lovely dressing ideas on a blog today. Can't wait to try them they sound wonderful
 From FOOD QUICK TO THE TABLE

Basil Vinaigrette Add 1 cup fresh basil leaves, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon roughly chopped shallots, ¼ cup champagne vinegar, ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of sea salt & freshly ground pepper to a blender or food processor & blend until smooth. 

Creamy Avocado Dressing Add 1 ripe avocado, 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, ¼ cup Greek yogurt and a pinch of sea salt & freshly ground pepper to a blender or food processor & blend until smooth. 

Tamari Sesame Dressing Add ¼ cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons tamari (or soy sauce) and ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes to a small bowl and mix well. Gradually whisk in 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil and ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil until all ingredients are well combined. 

Ginger Miso Dressing Add 3 tablespoons mild miso (I used white miso but yellow will work as well), 3 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons roughly chopped ginger, 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, ¼ cup grapeseed oil (or extra virgin olive oil) and ¼ cup water to a blender or food processor & blend until smooth. 


Chili Lime Vinaigrette Add 3 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, ¼ teaspoon cayenne and 1 teaspoon honey to a small bowl and mix well. Gradually whisk in ¼ cup grapeseed oil (or extra virgin olive oil) until all ingredients are well combined. Season with a bit of salt & pepper.
