When you are planning a dinner party or just a nice dinner with your family, there are a number of things that you can do to spruce up the dinner. When you are starting a meal, the best idea is to start it with a bang. For some people, the salad helps them to determine what the rest of the dinner will be like. The salad can also provide a great jumping off point to put your best foot forward.
One of the best things that you can do to make a salad more formal and classic at the same time is to make your own dressing. When you make a dressing yourself, you can add what you think it needs to sort of make it your own. For instance, if you are making a Caesar salad, there are a number of ingredients you will need in order to make your own Caesar dressing at home. For most dressings like this one, you will use mustard, Worcestershire, parmesan, vinegar, and lemon juice. These are just the basic ingredients that go into making a Caesar dressing for your family salad. Some people also choose to add a raw egg which adds some sort of texture to the dressing.
Another dressing that you could make for your family at home would be a vinaigrette dressing. Although this sounds like a complicated dressing, this can be one of the most basic recipes if you look at all the basic ingredients. For a dressing like this, you would need wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs to add for seasoning. This is really a simple dressing that you can make dressing depending on the extra flavors you add. For instance, a raspberry vinaigrette dressing would require all of the following ingredients except the wine vinegar. Instead, you would need to add raspberry vinegar as well as a small amount of sugar for taste. There are many other ways that you can dress up your vinaigrette dressing by adding different types of vinegar and different herbs.
Another option for dressing up your salad might be to make your own croutons. Croutons are one of the simplest things to make; you just need to have the right ingredients. For simple croutons, you can dice up some bread and sauté it in a pan with olive oil and garlic. You should continue to cook them until they are crispy and then take them out. This is another option for make your salad more your own and will go well with your homemade dressing.
