My Recipe Box - Potato Salad Dressing


I have always just mixed mayo and salad dressing in with the cold potatoes, radishes and/or celery and onions for potato salad.
I got to thinking that if I blended the ingredients it would make a smoother dressing and this was delicious!! I could see using it on a Caesar salad or coleslaw.

Adjust the items depending on how much you need. Whether you use a blender or just give them a good shake is up to you. I have even used an almost empty mayo jar so I could get the bits that were still in the jar.



1/2 cup olive oil/avocado mayo
1/4 cup Italian salad dressing
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon pickle juice
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
A drizzle of olive oil
Siracha to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Last Night's Dinner





DH decided to make beef skewers (or brochettes if you're from Quebec) for dinner. We had a lot of steak in the freezer so he cut it up and skewered it with green peppers, and quickly realized he forgot the mushrooms so made mushroom skewers as well. He also made a potato salad using this recipe.
He also decided he needed a BBQ sauce to put on the beef using this recipe from a Quebec grocery chain. We didn't have chili sauce so I said I would just use ketchup and add some heat to it.

Recipe ingredients

  • 2 lbs. (900 g) cubed beef (4 to 6 cubes/brochette)
  • Sauce
  • 1 cup (250 mL) chili sauce
  • 3 Tbsp. (45 mL) brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp. (5 mL) Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 drops Tabasco sauce

Preparation


Preheat the barbecue to medium.
In a glass bowl, mix all the basting sauce ingredients.
Thread on brochettes and brush with sauce
Grill beef brochettes 8 to 10 minutes, turning from time to time.
Baste during cooking.

Photos aren't great, the potato salad looks a little on the red side but I'm too lazy to Photoshop it!

Stop!!
