For salads, I just toss greens with oil and vinegar, but I made an actual vinaigrette for steamed vegetables. It gets old having to make it every night. There is no room for a full-sized blender, though I might look into this option.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361819186011561670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-37959963252680419052014-03-07T12:43:55.340-08:002014-03-07T12:43:55.340-08:00If there is anyone out there who likes eating sala...If there is anyone out there who likes eating salad and likes making homemade dressing but HATES vinegar like I do, then I'd recommend buying some verjus (verjuice). It's basically a very tart, non-alcoholic grape juice combined with crab apples and other sour goodies. I mix it with olive oil and a little thyme and it makes for a perfect, refreshing dressing. Just slightly more refined and tasty than the olive oil + lemon combo.

I like the personal blender because I can advance prep multiple sauces and dressings for the week and the only thing I have to rinse out between each one is the blade. No transferring to jars, no cleaning out a giant blender. I know I sound crazy, but it makes such a big difference in the kitchen, if you are someone who wants homemade dressings and such.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06819528155575569595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-25098785607805765152014-03-06T15:24:30.129-08:002014-03-06T15:24:30.129-08:00Out of laziness the other day, I threw everything ...Out of laziness the other day, I threw everything into the blender. I am now obsessed with blending + the recipe I used. (Oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, a chipotle + adobo, Dijon, honey, salt, & pepper.) It made such a tasty marinade that I have wanted it as dressing on everything ever since.<br /><br />Also - I am seriously considering getting a mini blender *just* so I can have easy storage for blended vinaigrettes. I may have a problem.Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17468276901563947172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-5489581750190418002014-03-06T15:22:22.339-08:002014-03-06T15:22:22.339-08:00Yay!
