Question

What are the ratios to convert a vinaigrette to oil free. I know the normal ratio oil to vinegar is 3:1. What would be the equivalent for oil free?
Answer
Well, I'll give you the easiest one. It's a three
two one dressing. So it is
three ounces of vinegar
two ounces of water
and one tablespoon of mustard and
if you want to you can add in some
sweetener like maple syrup or monk
fruit or whatever. I think
I make a lot of oil-free dressings and
most of them are extemporaneous. I found
last week for example that I made a will
people said it was delicious a dressing and
it was too watery looking and I didn't want
to add chia.
Because I didn't want people to be frightened by
those little black things. So I used two
very small cooked new potatoes
and through everything into a blender.
And pureed it and it came out nice and thick and
had a really wonderful texture to
it. So I say play around
with flavors that you like.
And also we have the question at the top
of the hour about good olive oil. I
think the same thing holds true with vinegar
because a good quality vinegar can really
make the salad taste
exceptionally delicious. So check around
for some vinegars. If you're looking for a really
good vinegar store that sends vinegar
and olive oil all over the world at the
Italian market where Rocky Balboa ran down 9th
Street. There's a wonderful store called Cardenas.
Tap room and it's c-a-r-d-e-n-a-s, and
they have delicious delicious.
balsamic vinegars from Modena
Made from the tribiano great which is how
you know, you have an authentic balsamic vinegar
or glaze and my
favorite right now. They have a summer fig and a
summer cucumber and the cucumber
is absolutely delicious.
