Tapenade Dressing
February 17, 2011 in Uncategorized
Yes I know… its been 3 months of silence… ! so very sorry ! Now I have moved home back to Hout Bay and am ready to tackle the world of blogging once more in a big way !
Also joined SureSlim again and even better am going 3 times a week to water arobics ! so 2011 will definitely be the year of health and happiness !
So looking forward to Sunday at the food bloggers conference in Monkey Valley which is really just around the corner from me.
Seeing that these coming weeks / months will be more on the skinny food side here is an amazing recipe for a dressing that i found and tried out:
Tapenade Dressing
This super-easy dressing will make even the most boring of lettuces taste amazing, but it would also be great on arugula, spinach, for just about any salad green. Garnish with toasted pine nuts, tomatoes, and feta cheese or hard boiled eggs ( for the protein) for a more substantial salad. Grilled or marinated vegetables would most certainly be a great idea as well..
2 Tbsp. + 2 tsp. tapenade
1 Tbsp. red wine, balsamic, or sherry vinegar or even some rosmary infussed vinegar gives it a nice touch
4 Tbsp. good olive oil
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl with a whisk.
- Drizzle over salad greens of choice and toss before serving.
- Add pine nuts and feta or eggs…. whatever grabs you at the moment
Makes enough to dress 4-6 salads. Leftovers will keep several days in an airtight container in the fridge.
