We have some special offers on a beautiful large wooden salad bowl from ICTC as well as a reduction on the Simplicity Glass Oil and Vinegar set.
And on the very well made and clever Collapsible Salad spinner we have a really good offer too.
SALAD DRESSING TIPS
The rule of thumb is 6 parts oil to one part vinegar or lemon juice. For a lighter dressing reduce the vinegar.
Olive oil is best but again if you want to make it a little lighter in taste mix with sunflower oil.
Always season with salt and pepper.
Always shake really well...a bottle with a screw top is best for this.
You can keep a dressing 'on the go' in the fridge and top it upa as you need.
You can add a sprig of rosemary or similar to infuse over several days.
Garlic is also a good addition as again it will infuse over several days.
Play around...invent your own recipe.
