This dressing must chill for 6 or more hours before serving don't even think about serving it right away as the flavors intensify with chilling time, even better if made a day ahead, I have left the Parmesan as optional you may add in or omit, you may adjust all amounts to taste.

KITTENCAL'S BEST DEVILED EGGS

These have been a favorite for years, when I serve these at my get togethers or make them for socials and large events they are always the first to go and everyone wants the recipe, I suggest to use large, extra large or even jumbo eggs for this, I like to make the yolk filling a day ahead and refrigerate this will blend the flavors --- for a nice presentation place each egg half in a colored paper muffin liner --- all ingredient amounts may be adjusted to taste --- see my recipe#259573

Kittencal's Best Deviled Eggs image

Steps:

  • Slice the eggs in half lengthwise; remove the yolks, and set whites aside.
  • In a small bowl, mush yolks well with a fork, leaving no small lumps.
  • Add next 10 ingredients (adjusting to suit taste) mix well to combine.
  • Spoon or pipe egg yolk mixture evenly into the whites.
  • Sprinkle with paprika.
  • Cover tightly with plastic wrap.
  • Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve (if not making the yolk mixture a day ahead it is best to prepare the eggs and refrigerate for about 5 hours before serving this will give the flavors a chance to blend and intensify).

Nutrition Facts : Calories 40, Fat 2.7, SaturatedFat 0.8, Cholesterol 93.4, Sodium 56, Carbohydrate 0.4, Sugar 0.3, Protein 3.2

12 hard-boiled eggs (I always boil a few more eggs, eat the whites then add in the yolks to increase the filling mixture!)
1/2 cup mayonnaise (I like to use half salad dressing and mayonnaise)
2 tablespoons milk (or 2 tablespoons half-and-half cream)
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried chives (or use 1 large very finely chopped green onion in place of dried chives)
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard powder
1/8-1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste, I use seasoned salt)
1/4 teaspoon paprika (a little more for dusting the eggs)
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

KITTENCAL'S CREAMY GREEK FETA SALAD DRESSING

Plan ahead the dressing needs a few hours chilling time before serving, you may want to adjust some ingredients after you make this, I would suggest to start with the stated amounts and add in more after mixing, you may use 3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese in place of the feta cheese --- if you are not a lover of garlic then I suggest to pass this by! --- servings are only esitmated.

1 -2 medium garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

KITTENCAL'S FAMOUS CAESAR SALAD

I developed this dressing years ago, and I can honestly say that you won't be able to keep your spoon out of the fridge for a taste, it is *that* good! --- although I do think the dressing is better with the anchovy it can certainly be made without them. In a pinch I have even substituted buttermilk for the half and half cream, just use about the same amount --- this dressing gets stronger with refrigeration time so a small amount of fresh garlic goes a long way! ---- usually one recipe without doubling is perfect for one large romaine lettuce, if you are serving a large crowd of people you might want to double -- salad dressing will not work for this use *only* mayonnaise, I find Hellman's brand mayonnaise works the best and for the perfect companion to this salad see my recipe#125034-------------LOWER-FAT OPTION use reduced fat mayonnaise and fat-free half and half or low-fat milk --- also see my recipe#66596

Kittencal's Famous Caesar Salad image

Steps:

  • In a small 2-cup mini food processor, process/mince the anchovy fillets and garlic together until finely minced (do this together and firstly, otherwise it will not get minced properly with the other ingredients).
  • Add in the remaining ingredients, and process for 30 seconds, or more until well mixed.
  • Adjust seasonings to taste.
  • Thin with buttermilk (or milk) for a thinner consistency if desired.
  • Store in fridge, covered in a glass container for 3 or more hours before using (the flavors become stronger when left in the fridge for a longer time).
  • Toss desired amount of dressing with Romaine lettuce and croutons.
  • Sprinkle with more grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

1 large head romaine lettuce (washed over and thoroughly dried)
1 1/2 cups garlic-flavored croutons (or to taste, see Kittencal's Garlic Croutons)
parmesan cheese
freshly grated black pepper (to taste)
2 anchovy fillets (or to taste)
2 fresh garlic cloves (or to taste)
1 cup mayonnaise (not salad dressing Hellman's is best)
1/4 cup half-and-half cream or 1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (Hellman's Dijonnaise is best!)
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (or to taste) (optional)
buttermilk or half-and-half, for thinning
