I've referenced my Aunt Chien in prior posts. She's the amazing aunt that cooks, arranges flowers and graciously shared her banana nut bread recipe with me. Well, she was in town again for a visit and of course, our family EATS. She showed us how to make the most simple salad dressing with common cupboard ingredients and fresh fruit. That night, it was with kiwi and mangos. I don't see why you couldn't use strawberries, rasberries or blueberries if that is what you have in your fridge.
Beyond just tasting good, knowing exactly what went into it, and simply how fast and easy this is to make, I also like that you can keep this in the fridge for a few weeks. Make a batch, put into a pourable container/jar, and it's a quick pour each time I need it. In addition to salads, I'll just use this when I have my cucumber or sweet snap pea veggie snacks throughout the day. If you have some cheese, even better. I had this kiwi dressing in a salad with some blue cheese - um, hello! They tasted delicious together! I've made this with kiwi, mangos and strawberries with the latter being the best in my opinion.
Kiwi Salad Dressing
Recipe from my Aunt Chien
2 kiwis
3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
3 Tbsp honey
4 and 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1 lemon
S&P
1. Peel and cube the kiwi.
2. In a blender, add everything in except the lemon. For the honey, adjust if your fruit is very sweet. For istance, if you are using a sweet mango, I would only use 1 tbsp of honey. You can use about 6 large strawberries or a good handful of rasberries. I have some frozen rasberries that I will try next.
3. Give it a good blend and then squeeze half of the lemon in. Taste and if you feel like you need more, squeeze the other. Also, I like my dressing on the tart side and find myself adding just a tad bit more vinegar.
