Christmas Tree 3997 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Looks rancid that like CT. If you are referring to the picture above, it's just Marksy salad with lean duck breast and hoisin vinegarette dribbled on the top. Not sure how I could have tarted it up better tbf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 70 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Honestly his food always looks like Benidorm menu photos. Those cucumbers. Nailed. It's the singular lack of any artistry however that takes it to another level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19817 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 If anyone likes a really nice French Dressing with a bit of a kick, can I point you in the direction of Marks and Spencers low fat French Dressing. Its new out and is the one they are using in all their in store cafes. It is absolutely lushville. home made french dressing is the easiest thing in the world to make and makes an otherwise dull salad interesting. three parts extra virgin olive oil to one part dijon mustard and one part white whine vinegar. add salt and pepper. and half a clove of finely chopped raw garlic (if you like a bit of extra kick). these days, i quite liker to simply dress my sald with a premium, unfiltered oilve oil and seasoning. simple, fresh as fuck and delicious.

Aye, I used to just do the olive oil thing however we came across this last week while eating at Marksy's and it truly was fantastic. Ingredients on the back include Cider vinegar, sugar, lemon, honey, Cornflour, coarse grain mustard, black mustard seeds, spirit vinegar, Dijon mustard, chives, parsley, garlic, turmeric and coarse black pepper.

Monkeys Fist 38743 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Why have sugar when there's honey in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19817 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 why buy it when you can make it? a home made version will be better for you and almost certainly taste better. plus it's fresh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19817 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 corn flour for instance. no need for it in a salad dressing. same goes for sugar and honey. imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34425 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Corn flour does nowt but thicken it up and make it more fattening afaik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(just noticed, in that list of ingredients, there's no oil!) Hence the cornflour. Oil emulsifies when you use it in a salad dressing which thickens the consistency, thereby allowing you to pour it over your salad without it running off the food. Duh. Your basic ingredients for a top salad dressing are simply three things: Oil, Sour and Sweet. Obviously you can omit the sweet part, but why the hell would you want to do that? I can't remember where I posted it in this thread, but this was the house dressing i made at the restaurant (I'm not sure about exact amounts, I always did it by taste): 175ml (at a guess) white wine vinegar A few cloves of fresh garlic Good pour of runny honey (we had some lush organic stuff) A spoon of thyme Good pinch of salt & pepper Two big spoons of dijon mustard Topped up with a generous amount of olive oil Hoy all that in a blender and add in more oil/vinegar/honey until you get your preferred balance.
