Everyday and Curious Encounters #3 - of Salads and Salad Dressings

I love cooking. I particularly like to prepare salads.

There are so many things that can be added, replaced, and changed in a salad recipe. In this example, I combined:

• cucumber
• “datterino plum tomatoes”
• boiled egg
• mozzarella

I also mix my own salad dressings. That way, I have full control over what I pour over my meals. And it doesn’t take that much time, anyway, if one prepares up to half a liter of it at a time in a salad dressing mixer.
I don’t remember the exact recipe of the salad dressing used in this picture, but I follow a simple template:

• 1-4 different oils
• a type of vinegar
• a type of mustard
• natural yoghurt
• herbs and seeds
• salt & pepper
• a pinch of sugar to to balance the acidity, if necessary

Overview of ingredients I have used in the past

Video recommendation
I highly recommend Jamie Oliver’s approach to making salad dressing presented in the following video:

I hope this blog post inspired you to try preparing your own salads and salad dressings!
