Summers are approaching and I like to eat light and refreshing salads for my meals. Their are endless possibilities to make salads and by changing the dressing or the ingredients in the salad, you can have a new salad every time. While my stay in the US, salad dressings were very easily available and I used to always stock a few in my refrigerator. After coming back to India, I could not find any dressing in the stores and that's when I decided to make mine at home. These dressings keep good in the refrigerator for almost a week and in just a matter of few minutes, you can whip up a lovely salad for your meal. So today, it's a Balsamic Vinaigrette with garlic and herbs. I used the dressing for my arugula, watermelon and feta salad and the combination is wonderful. Here is the recipe for the Balsamic Vinaigrette.


All you need is

Balsamic vinegar - 1\4 cup
Extra virgin olive oil - 1\2 cup
garlic - 1 tbsp ( finely chopped )
Honey - 2 tbsp
Salt - 1 tsp
Freshly ground black pepper - 1\2 tsp
Dried thyme - 1\4 tsp
Dried basil - 1\4 tsp
Dried rosemary - 1\4 tsp


Method of preparation

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl with a whisk.
Store in an airtight glass bottle in refrigerator.
Mix well before use.
You can use the dressing for up to 1 week.

Summers are approaching and it's the time when I like to eat light and fresh salads. I always try to look out for new dressing recipes and make my meals more interesting. Lemon and honey is one of my favorite dressing and it gets whipped in no time. I had a few passion fruits lying in the fruit basket, so thought of giving my usual salad dressing a twist. The slightly sweet and tangy flavor of the passion fruit went well with lemon and honey and I had a different dressing for my salad. If you don't have access to passion fruit, just skip using it. Here is the recipe.


All you need is

Olive oil - 1\4 cup
Lemon juice - 4 tbsp
Honey - 4 tbsp
Salt - 1\4 tsp
Freshly ground black pepper - 1\4 tsp
Passion fruit - 3-4


Method of preparation

Cut the passion fruits and remove the pulp.
Pass the pulp through a soup strainer and collect the juice.
Mix all the ingredients in a jar.
Cover the lid of the jar and give it a shake.
Chill for a few hours in refrigerator.
