White balsamic mustard vinaigrette

White balsamic mustard vinaigrette with wild herb salad

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.

Mediterranean herb oil with basil and mint

Herb oil - a simple salad dressing variant

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!

Pear Rosemary Dressing

Salad dressing with pear and rosemary

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.

Dear Stefan,

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,
Carla

Stefan
Alright, I generally prefer rapeseed oil because of its more favorable fatty acid composition. I would love to hear from you about the taste of the dressing. It also pairs very well with wild herbs.
Best regards,
Stefan

Thank you for the fantastic salad dressing recipes - awesome! I'm really looking forward to trying them out.
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?

Dear Vivian,

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

A small question,

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

Hello 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

Dear Green Smoothies Team,
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

Dear 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

Hi, your dressings are really great and taste amazing. My friends always love them. Could you please let me know how long these dressings last?

Hello Brigitte,

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

Wow! Thank you so much for the dressings! I always prepare my dressings in the blender for the whole week too. I love such practical and delicious dressings. I always have sesame seeds at home as well. They are long-lasting and bring an extra health benefit when used whole. Sometimes I also add stone fruit, with the skin, or orange with mustard and dates. The blender can handle anything and the possibilities are endless :) Now I will first try out your delicious treats!

Dear Green Smoothie Team,

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.

Hello 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!
