Nasturtium Vinaigrette

This vinaigrette is beautiful on a green salad, sprinkled with extra dried nasturtiums. Fresh nasturtium flowers are edible and would also be a great addition.

Here's the link to make nasturtium capers and dried nasturtium flowers

Ok, on to the dressing:

4 green onions, chopped
3/4 cup olive oil 
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp sundried tomatoes, finely chopped
1 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp dried nasturtium flowers, crumbled
1 tbsp nasturtium capers

Aren't these homemade nasturtium capers like wow!

Chop the white part of the onion quite finely, but the green part can be more coarsely chopped. Add everything to a jar and store in refrigerator 1 week.

Radish Vinaigrette

Adapted this one that I found in an old magazine in a doctor's office. They're never new ones, am I right?

5 radishes, coarsely chopped (I used a couple more as mine were small)
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tbsps white wine vinegar
1 tbsp dijon mustard (with chardonnay)
2 tsps honey
1/2 tsp minced garlic

Process until it thickens.
Add salt and pepper to taste.

Makes 1 cup
And it's such a pretty colour !!

Remember to take it out of the fridge about an hour before using.

Basil Greek Yogurt Salad Dressing

Here's another recipe for salad dressing.  Like the last one I posted it's lemon based. (Can you tell lemons were on sale this week?)

2 garlic cloves
2 heaping tbsps Greek yogurt
a handful of fresh basil leaves
juice and zest of 1 lemon
5 tbsps olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp honey

Toss it all in the food processor.....done.

And it'll keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks.
