Last weekend at a delicious dinner gathering, Amy introduced me to Roasted Walnut Oil in a salad dressing she was making. As a long-time extra virgin olive oil supporter, I was skeptical. However, the salad was delicious! This nutty full flavored oil is the perfect ingredient in any homemade salad dressing and since it does not solidify when refrigerated; it is the perfect way to make dressings that can be stored in the refrigerator. Although not much tops Tara's easy balsamic vinaigrette recipe, this new nut oil is fast gaining. I mixed it with some balsamic vineger and put it on my arugula salad just adding some shave parm and salt. Delicioso!
Tara's Easy Dressing: (Tara doesn’t know that I share this recipe all over with her name attached)
- Fresh Garlic cloves
- Balsalmic Vinegar
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Orange Juice (fresh or "Simply Orange" is best)
- Salt and Pepper
*Blend above at whatever proportioning you choose to taste
Ashley’s Easy (not anymore) Arugula Salad:
- Arugula
- Shaved Parm
- Salt
- Dash of balsamic vinegar
- EVOO or Roasted Walnut Oil
*Blend above at whatever proportioning you choose to taste
