Y2.U4 Salad/Dressing/Garnish Y2.U4.2 Salad Dressings
Objectives • Identify types of salad dressing • Identify types of oil • Identify types of vinegar • Define suspension and emulsion • Prepare various types of salad dressing
Salad Dressing Types • Vinaigrette (Basic French) • 3 oil to 1 vinegar • Light, thin, often used on delicate ingredients • Other acidic juices can be used • Suspension • A temporary mixture of ingredients that separates back to its unique parts *Wisk in oil a little at a time
Oil • Canola • Light in color, mild in flavor, low in saturated fat, high in monounsaturated fat, good omega 3 profile • Corn • Light golden color, nearly tasteless
Oil • Cottonseed, Soybean, Safflower • Bland, nearly tasteless • Peanut • Mild distinctive flavor, somewhat expensive, allergies • Walnut • Distinctive flavor, expensive, allergies
Oil • Olive • Distinctive fruity flavor, yellow to green color, cost • Extra-virgin: <1% acidity • Virgin: <2% acidity • Olive: blended refined and virgin • Extra Light: blended refined and virgin • Pomace: blended pomace and virgin (solvents)
Oil • Cold pressed • Although pressing and grinding produces heat through friction, the temperature must not rise above 120°F (49°C) for any oil to be considered cold pressed. Cold pressed oils are produced at even lower temperatures. Cold pressed oils retain all of their flavor, aroma, and nutritional value.
Vinegar • Balsamic • Aged in wooden barrels 4-50 years, dark brown color, sweet taste • Cider • Apples, tan/brown color, slightly sweet taste • Flavored • Infused with tarragon, garlic, raspberries…
Vinegar • Sherry • From sherry wine, sherry flavor • Specialty • Malt, rice, fruits. Etc • White/Distilled • Distilled and purified to give a neutral flavor, 5-8% acetic acid • Wine/Champagne • White or red, from wine
Emulsified Vinaigrette • Beat egg yolks/egg, and/or spice, mustard. • Add a small amount of vinegar and/or lemon juice • Wisk in ⅔ of the oil. • Add remainder of vinegar and or lemon. • Wisk in remainder of oil. • Check for seasoning, store in fridge. • Standard vinaigrette with egg as emulsifier • Thinner than mayonnaise, heavier than basic vinaigrette
Mayonnaise • Most stable and thickest emulsified dressing • High ratio of oil to vinegar • Contains more yolk than an emulsified vinaigrette • Emulsion: two ingredients that would not form a stable mixture held together by an emulsifier (lecithin/egg yolk)
Mayonnaise • Can use other fats/flavors Salad dressing: No egg, uses chemical thickening agents, 30% oil compared to 65% in mayonnaise, sweeter, cheaper.
Mayonnaise-basedDressing • Aïoli: garlic • Blue cheese: blue cheese, sour cream buttermilk • Green Goddess: Spinach, watercress, tarragon • Ranch: sour cream, buttermilk • Russian: catsup, horseradish, worcestershire
Dip • A flavorful mixture that accompanies certain food items • Normally thicker than salad dressings, soft enough to scoop, thick enough to stay on the food • Often use mayonnaise, sour cream, cream cheese as a base
Dip • Guacamole: avocado • Salsa: pepper, onion, tomato • Hummus: chic pea, garlic, tahini
