My yummy dressing...

I've decided to blow my own trumpet a little and post what I believe to be THE BEST recipe for a sort of multi-use all purpose salad dressing that can also be quickly transformed into a dip! I don't really have a name for it other than 'Hannah's French Style Dressing'!

Ingredients:
  • Natural Yogurt (4 heaped tablespoons)
  • Olive Oil (6 tablespoons - preferably a reasonably good quality one)
  • White Wine Vinegar (2 teaspoons)
  • Wholegrain Mustard (2 teaspoons)
  • Salt & Cracked Pepper to season

This tastes wonderful on a variety of salads including a nicoise salad and if you add more natural yogurt it tastes fantastic as a dip with carrot and cucumber batons!

It also tastes particularly nice when used to dress my 'Ali D's Mean Bean Salad' (see recipe below)

This salad was first made by my mum and involves 3 simple ingredients:

  • A can of Cannellini Beans strained and rinsed with cold water.
  • A whole tin of tuna (2 tins if you're making this for more)
  • A whole red onion finely chopped.
  • Salt and Pepper to season.
  • Olive oil or The 'Hannah's French Style Dressing!

It's delicious in a large portion on a bed of rocket for lunch or as a side salad with BBQ food.
