Spring Vanilla Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Mix oil. vinegar, vanilla extract, salt, sugar and ground black pepper in small bowl with wire whisk until well blended.
• Toss greens with oranges, strawberries and pecans n large bowl (or divide among individual serving plates). Serve with vanilla vinaigrette.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients.
• mix well.

Steps:

• Bring a wide pot of salted water to a boil. Trim the baby carrots, leaving just 1/2 inch of the green tops, then peel and halve lengthwise. Trim the spring onions, removing the root and all but 2 inches of the tops, and halve lengthwise. Snap or cut off the tough ends of the asparagus and peel the bottom half of each. Cut each spear in half crosswise (or into thirds, if long).
• Fill a large bowl with ice water. Add the carrots to the boiling water; cook until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to the ice bath to cool, then remove to a colander to drain. Add the spring onions to the boiling water; cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes, then cool in the ice water and remove to the colander. Repeat with the asparagus, cooking about 3 minutes. Pat the vegetables dry with a clean towel. (The vegetables can be prepared up to this point several hours ahead; cover and refrigerate.)
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the spring onions; sprinkle with the sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring once or twice, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium; push the onions to one side of the skillet. Add the vinegar, mustard and 1/4 cup water to the other side of the skillet, whisking to combine; bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, 2 minutes. Toss with the onions. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• Add the carrots, asparagus, parsley and dill to the skillet; toss to combine.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, garlic, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. While whisking, slowly add the olive oil until the vinaigrette is emulsified.
• Place the salad greens in a medium bowl and add enough dressing to moisten. Sprinkle with a little extra salt and pepper, if desired, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Make vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together oil, lemon zest and juice, vinegar, and sugar; season with salt and pepper.
• When ready to serve salad, place lettuce, radicchio, scallions, and tomatoes in a large bowl; add vinaigrette, and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until well combined.

Steps:

• Combine the first 10 ingredients in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 30 minutes. Add the meat broth and continue to simmer until mixture reduces to 2 cups, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Add the scallions, ginger, honey and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with spring rolls (above).

Steps:

• Place the oil, vanilla bean pods and seeds into a small sauce pan over medium heat.
• Bring the oil up to a low simmer, and then remove from heat and let stand at least 1 hour to infuse the vanilla flavor.
• Strain the oil through a fine sieve to remove the vanilla pod (the seeds will remain in the oil). Cool completely.
• Combine all ingredients except the oil in a small immersion blender or food processor, pulsing until the mixture is completely blended and smooth. Slowly add the oil while blending until the mixture is completely emulsified. Transfer to a small bowl or squeeze bottle and chill before dressing salad.
