Asian Salad



Ingredients

1 bag coleslaw
1 cucumber
toasted pine nuts
Cooked chicken

Dressing
2/3 rice vinegar
2 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp oil
2 tsp soy sauce

Overall:
This was a really easy salad to put together. The longest part was cooking the chicken. It was good. I didn't like the dressing too much, I would have prefered a ginger dressing or something with a little more umph. But overall I very much enjoyed the coleslaw salad.

P.S. Pardon the picture it's from my cell phone.

Italian Dressing, Old School...

So I haven't actually made this yet, but it is sitting on a post it in my room, and no doubt going to be lost soon.

Dad's Italian Dressing
  • 2 cups good quality extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3 shallots, finely diced
  • 1 head of garlic, finely minced (salt on garlic)
  • Bunch of basil
  • bunch of thyme
  • 1/2 bunch Italian parsley
1. Sautee Shallots and Garlic in medium pan until translucent. Add Herbs. Cook for 5 minutes. Let Cool. Add Salt & pepper to taste. Add herbs to balsamic vinegar. whisk vinegar and herbs while adding olive oil slowly.

If this is the recipe my dad use to make it is literally the best italian dressing EVER. I'm hoping when I go home over winter break or when my financial situation is more lucrative I can make this.
