Sauces and Dressings. Simple to hard. Nowadays, you can get mixes for all kinds of sauces. But sometimes it's nice to make them from scratch.
Sauce Recipes:
- Alfredo Sauce a creamy, cheesy sauce to go over pasta or other things
- Apple Cider Vinaigrette a simple autumn dressing
- Bacon Blue Cheese Dip a tasty dip that also makes a great burger topping
- Banana Dressing found this one and thought it would be a great thing for a fruit salad
- Hollandaise Sauce Hollandaise is fabulous sauce to go with eggs, asparagus, and other things that can take a little zip
- Hot Pecan Cheese Dip pretty awesome and simple dip
- Sauces Sauces. Where would the French be without them? Also: Dressings
- Tamara's Quick Bolognese Sauce my quick and easy bolognese sauce
- White Sauce a basic building block for other recipes
Other Sauces
I prefer to buy the following sauces rather than to try to make them:
- Soy sauce
- Hoisin sauce
- Sri-Racha or Thai Chili Garlic Sauce
- Teriyaki sauce
- Ketchup
- Tikki Masala sauce
- Mustard
- Mustard is one of those things that has developed into quite a speciality line. You can get mustard in all sorts of flavours: honey, spicy, coarse ground, chipotle, raspberry, ... I could go on, but they'll invent more. This is something to investigate.
- Mayonnaise (or something like Miracle Whip).
- Barbecue sauce. This is a very personal thing -- everyone has their own favourite. Mine is Rudoph's, from the restaurant here in Minneapolis. They also make a dynamite cole slaw dressing.
- Salad dressing -- here, dressings can be used as ingredients in certain dishes, as well as coverings for your greens. Things go waaaaaaaaay beyond ranch or thousand island.
- Oriental Ginger dressing -- I've seen several of these, sometimes with citrus, sometimes without.
- Raspberry vinegrette -- does so many things!
- Note: if you want Thousand Island, you can make it quite easily: equal parts ketchup, mayonnaise and pickle relish.
- Nothing much beats topping a salad with lemon juice or balsamic and a bit of olive oil. Bottled dressings tend to contain less useful fats and often high-fructose corn syrup.
