Egg Dressing
Description
This vibrant egg-based dressing creates a creamy, emulsified texture perfect for coating salads or vegetables. It combines the richness of olive oil with the bright acidity of red wine vinegar and the punch of fresh garlic. The addition of mixed green herbs like parsley, chives, basil, and dill adds a fresh, aromatic finish that cuts through the fat. Ideal for spring salads, grain bowls, or as a marinade for roasted vegetables, this dressing brings a homemade, rustic charm to any meal. It is simple to prepare using pantry staples and fresh produce, resulting in a versatile condiment that elevates everyday dishes with its balanced flavor profile.Ingredients
Directions
-
Crack the egg into a medium-sized mixing bowl and add the minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar.
-
Whisk the mixture vigorously until it becomes frothy and well combined.
-
While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in half of the olive oil to begin the emulsification process.
-
Continue whisking and slowly add the remaining olive oil, alternating with small amounts of the remaining 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, until the dressing thickens.
-
Once the desired consistency is reached, fold in the chopped fresh herbs (chives, parsley, basil, and dill).
-
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, then serve immediately or refrigerate.
