(490) Salad Dressings

Salads are made of  fresh, fibrous and nutritious ingredients which are mixed with some flavoursome ingredients called Salad dressing. So salad dressing is nothing but sauce for salads or you can also say the spicy mixture for salads which improves the taste and texture of salads. There are two types of Salad dressings Vinaigrette dressings and  Creamy dressings.

Vinaigrette dressings are prepared from Vinegar, Olive Oil, Herbs, Spices, Salt, Sugar, Nuts and seeds. Instead of using artificial chemicals in my kitchen I always prefer natural and fresh things . So I used Lemon juice, Tamarind juice, Pomegranate juice, Orange juice and Amla juice instead of Vinegar.

Creamy dressings are prepared from mayonnaise or fermented milk products like Curd, Sour cream and Butter milk.  I always try to avoid the use of mayonnaise or where necessary then use home made Instead of mayonnaise I prefer to use nuts,oil seeds and Avacado for creamy dressings.

Salad dressings can elevate the flavor of any salad while also providing a nutritional boost. By choosing ingredients rich in antioxidants, vitamins, protein, and iron, we can create dressings that not only enhance our meal but also support our health goals, including weight loss.

Life is a journey of evolving roles, each with its own beauty and wisdom. From the structured world of academia to the ever-evolving realm of homemaking, I have embraced each phase with passion and grace. When my children settled into their own lives, I found myself with a renewed sense of purpose—to document and share the wealth of knowledge I have gathered over the years.

During the lockdown, I realized that my experiences in cooking, home remedies, and life’s simple yet profound lessons could serve as a source of inspiration for others. Meticulously and with great concern for the palate, gut health, overall well-being, and the emotional gratification of savoring each preparation, I began crafting a collection of love-filled, cherished recipes, time-tested remedies, and stories woven with warmth and wisdom.

I write under the name "Rajeshree's Kitchen", where I share detailed recipes—the kind that provide exact measurements for ingredients like salt and water, which are often left to personal interpretation in most other kitchen blogs. Additionally, I include practical tips with clear reasons behind them, ensuring that every piece of advice is rooted in understanding and experience. My aim is to make cooking approachable yet precise, helping readers not just recreate dishes but truly connect with the joy of cooking.

This endeavor is my way of preserving traditions, sharing insights, and connecting with those who seek both knowledge and comfort in life's everyday moments.
