Questions about French salad dressing
How much French salad dressing should you use on a salad?
Start with a tablespoon for a large bowl of salad, toss well, then add more only if needed. A tablespoon (14 g) provides 88 kcal.
How do you stop French salad dressing separating?
Shake it hard in a tightly closed jar just before serving. For a homemade dressing, whisk the vinegar and seasonings together first, then drizzle in the oil slowly while whisking.
How should you store French salad dressing after opening?
Keep it refrigerated after opening and use a clean spoon or pourer to avoid contaminating it. Homemade dressing should be kept in a sealed jar in the fridge and used within a week.
What goes well with French salad dressing?
Its tangy, lightly sweet flavour works with crisp lettuce, tomato, cucumber and grated carrot. Try it in a potato salad or drizzle a little over sliced tomato and onion.
What can you use instead of French salad dressing?
For a sharper, less sweet option, whisk olive oil with vinegar or lemon juice and a little mustard. Use plain yoghurt with herbs for a thicker, creamy dressing.
Is French salad dressing the same as vinaigrette?
Not always: vinaigrette is usually oil whisked or shaken with vinegar, while French salad dressing can include tomato or other sweet seasonings and may be thicker. Recipes and ready-made versions differ, so the names are sometimes used loosely.
