White balsamic mustard vinaigrette
A classic among salad dressings - a mustard vinaigrette. Our version, however, is based on vegetable broth in addition to olive oil and white balsamic. And that's what gives this vinaigrette its flavorful fulminance, which we like to combine with a salad made of lots of wild herbs. This creates a balance with the equally flavorful wild herbs such as sharp forage, ribwort, dandelion or goutweed.
White balsamic mustard vinaigrette
Ingredients
- 45 ml white balsamic vinegar alternatively: high quality apple cider vinegar
- 75 ml vegetable broth cooled
- 150 ml olive oil
- 1/2 tsp medium hot mustard
- pepper as needed salt is unnecessary if the vegetable broth is salty.
Instruction
-
First prepare the vegetable broth; this can be done quite easily with e.g. SweMa vegetable broth paste. Simply add 2 tsp of it to 75 ml of water and heat the broth - let it cool down afterwards.
-
Now add all ingredients to the container and blend on high speed until a smooth and uniform consistency is achieved.
-
Note: Check the minimum preparation quantity of your container, you may need to double the ingredients.
Mediterranean herb oil with basil and mint
A Mediterranean herb oil made from basil and mint with a little lemon zest and garlic is very easy to prepare in the blender. Of course, you can also vary the herb mixture by replacing the mint with thyme and oregano or combining other herbs of your choice. We like to drizzle our herb oil over raw vegetables and salad, over steamed vegetables, oven vegetables or simply dip piece of sourdough bread in it. Simple and delicious!
Mediterranean herb oil
Ingredients
- 150 ml olive oil
- 2 handfuls of basil
- 1 handful of mint
- 1/2 lemon zest
- 1 squeeze of lemon juice
- 1/2 garlic clove
- 1/2 tsp sea salt or as needed
Instruction
-
Wash basil and mint and dry with a kitchen towel.
-
Wash the lemon and add the zest to the container. Add the remaining ingredients and use the pulse function until you reach a slightly chunky consistency.
-
Note: Check the minimum preparation quantity of your container, you may need to double the ingredients.
Pear Rosemary Dressing
The effort for our pear-rosemary dressing is a bit more, but definitely worth it: the fine pear flavor in combination with rosemary, a little honey and mustard fits perfectly with lamb's lettuce. If you're not vegan, you could add a toppings e.g: blue cheese or walnut. If the lamb's lettuce is already out of stock, this gourmet dressing also fits any other lettuce.
Pear and rosemary dressing
Ingredients
- 125 ml white balsamic vinegar
- 2 ripe pears peeled
- 1/2 lemon only juice
- 1 sprig of rosemary
- 150 ml olive oil
- 1 tsp medium hot mustard
- 2 tsp honey
- black pepper and sea or rock salt season as needed
Instruction
-
First, peel the pears and remove the stem. Then steam the pears in a medium-size pot together with white balsamic vinegar, rosemary and lemon juice on medium heat until they are soft.
-
Then let cool briefly, cut pears into halves and remove seeds. Remove the rosemary as well.
-
Now add the pear/balsamic mixture to the container and add honey, mustard and olive oil.
-
Blend everything on high speed until smooth and uniform. Now season with pepper and salt to taste.

thank you so much for your salad dressing recipe. Sounds great and will definitely be tried out. However, I would prefer to use olive oil instead of rapeseed oil.
Warm regards,

I have a question: I once read that you shouldn't blend olive oil too quickly, as it might become bitter. That's why I only stir in the olive oil right at the end. Do you ever experience it tasting really bitter all of a sudden?
thank you for your comment and your question.
I have never experienced the olive oil tasting bitter after blending before.
Not in salad dressings, hummus, or pesto.
Warm regards,
Carla

thank you for your message. I just checked: According to our email program, an email with the link to download the recipes was sent to you last night. I think it was just a few minutes after you sent us this comment :)
If you haven't received the email, please let me know, and I'll happily send you the recipe link again separately.
Warm regards,
Carla
Is it absolutely necessary to cut the pears after cooking? And what size of pears do you mean? Or can you rather specify gram number.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
Katja
thank you very much for your questions.
We do split the pears before blending to remove the seeds. We do this to avoid the bitter flavors of the seeds in the dressing. About the quantity of pears: about 300 g or two medium pears
Many greetings and enjoy trying the pear dressing,
Carla
thank you very much for the recipes. Do you have any tips on how to substitute mustard?
I can't tolerate mustard, unfortunately.
Kind regards
Petra
thank you for your question. Unfortunately, I can't think of a substitute for mustard right now either - it's already a pretty distinctive flavor of its own.
Therefore: Just leave it out.
Best regards,
Carla

it's lovely to hear that you enjoyed the recipes so much. We loved them too - in fact, our dressings were all used up within 2 days, so I can't say for sure how long they last. :-) Storing them in the fridge for a few days shouldn't be an issue. Claudia even says they're good for a week. Just give it a try and taste test before using...
Warm regards,
Carla
that all sounds very delicious! I wish you continued joy in trying things out!
Best regards,
Carla
for years, I've been using my personal blender to make salad dressings, sauces, and more. Whatever's left becomes the base for the next dressing.
With delicious regards from Berlin-Mitte, Stefan.
it's great to hear that you apparently don't throw anything away. :-) I also used to make dressings in the Personal Blender. It worked wonderfully!
Best regards,
Carla
