I got some criticism from the wife about my salad dressing mixture -
which - is mainly olive oil, vinegar, pepper, gronud mustard seed.

The complaint seemed a bit contrived and, knowing her, it's boredom.

I looked online and found a large variety of recipes. Anyone here have
tried-and-true recipes to share?

Oh, don't get me wrong, I have other dressings that don't have the
vinegar. I just like to have it as an option.

My standard vinaigrette is:

1 teaspoon vinegar (any kind)
2 teaspoon water
1 tablespoon extra-virgin-olive oil
salt

This makes one serving.

By varying the vinegar, I never get tired of it. If I use lemon or
lime juice, I don't measure or add water.

i started making my own dressing recently. looked around online
and tried the 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar for vinaigrette. no
thanks, i flipped it. my current batch is 3 parts balsamic
vinegar, 1 part sunflower and olive oil blend, few tbs dijon
mustard, 1 bulb homegrown romanian red garlic (very pungent), 2
tsp thyme, 2 tsp rosemary, 1 tbs msg, and a couple tsp pure dark
maple syrup. if i didn't always put hot peppers on my salads i'd
add some crushed red pepper too. i blend it all with a hand
blender and let it sit in the fridge for a week before using.

it suits my taste, a little goes a long way, and i call it it
frankendressing.

next stop, sesame ginger dressing. i already have the roasted
sesame seed oil and a knob of ginger.

Looks very good. I don't typically enjoy balsamic on my salads unless
the mood is with me.

I'll try this with my apple-cider vinegar and see how it turns out.

i love balsamic on my veggies. i also use balsamic and red wine
vinegar 50:50 with a bit of oil for sticktion, salt and pepper for a
grilled veggie glaze. i've had people from a couple blocks downwind
come over wondering what i was grilling that smelled so good. :)

my main use of cider vinegar is basting bbq meat. i mix it 50:50
with apple juice and a splash of oil (sticktion) and use it to
help keep whatever i'm smoking low and slow moist. in another
thread where sauerkraut and apples was being discussed Cindy
mentioned she uses apple cider. i think that's the route i'll
take next time. 50:50 cider vinegar and cider with some oil.

I usually just mix roughly 2 parts salad oil 1 part apple cider vinegar,
S/P to taste. Mustard would be a nice addition. I've also mixed the
little cruet with the packs of Italian dressing, I think Wishbone brand?

They (Wishbone) still make those packets? They belong in a museum. I
still have that silly old cruet from the 1970's.

They do, I bought the cruet new in box at the grocer within the last few
years. It came with two Wishbone mix packets.

Those Wishbone packages are pretty pricey considering they contain only
a small amount of things that are common in most kitchens these days.
My wife makes wonderful salad dressing using two parts good olive oil
and one part red wine vinegar and a bit of lemon juice. She adds a
crushed clove of garlic, salt, pepper, mustard powder and some
Worchestershire sauce.

You don't need no stinkin' recipe. You should learn how to imagine a
taste in your mind and duplicate it, first in your head and then in real
life. My favorite dressings might have sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, sesame
oil, acid, honey, etc.

My little buddy at work told me to put some fish sauce in a bowl and mix
in some sugar until it tastes right. Then add some lime juice until it
turns yellow. Add chopped garlic, and Thai chilies, if you like. It's a
classic Vietnamese dressing that I've made before but the guy gave me
some fine points. I'll make it and then prepare some questions for him.
I want to do this right.

Sounds like a winner! Did you know that there is a traditional vietnamese
sandwich which uses baguette? The baguette was introduced when they were
under french colonial rule.

The Vietnamese supply a lot of baguettes to the restaurants in Hawaii. I
think they pretty much popularized the baguette sandwich around here.

As long as they are good baguettes. Those are hard to find around here.
There are lots of places that sell long skinny loaves or bread and call
them baguettes but, other than the shape, they are nothing like a real
one. The only place we used to be able to get decent baguettes was in
Toronto near where my wife's family had lived. The owner was French and
his wife and most of the staff were Vietnamese.

When we were in Paris last year when we were in Paris we had a wonderful
appetizer that was a baked Camembert served with fresh baguette. I found
a recipe for it and was all set to try it, but then I realized I could
not get the bread to go with it.

The people making French style bread around here are mostly Vietnamese
and Japanese. These guys are real hard-assed about doing it right.
That's a good thing.

Doesn't surprise me at all! A good baguette can be very tasty! It is
however, very difficult to find good quality ones in Stockholm. =(
