Guest guest Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Here is a wonderful salad dressing recipe I use. Follow NT's Basic Dressing except use raw honey instead of mustard and apple cider vinegar instead of wine vinegar. You can add crispy walnuts too. Tis delightful!

My husband says this can be done. I have not tried it & I have to admit that I am a fussy eater. We are trying to go more nature with what we eat. We are trying to get rid of white sugar & flour as much as possible >Jeannie I use yogurt in salad dressings, also occasionally sour cream, except my SC is usually too thick for that. Easiest non-CF dressing in the world is crumble up some bleu cheese and mix in yogurt till it's the thickness you want. Add chives, garlic chives, green garlic, whatevah ya want. Sometimes I'll put in just a tiny bit of vinegar or something similar, but I usually don't bother. Most of the time I don't bother snipping chives or anything either. Laziness, really.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Hi , > I use yogurt in salad dressings, also occasionally sour > cream, except my SC > is usually too thick for that. I'm interested in the fact that your sour cream is thick. Mine seems to stay pretty runny except for one time it magically got really, really thick -- almost like commercial sour cream. I have no idea why. Do you do anything in particular to get yours to come out that way? I much prefer it thick like that. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when I say sour cream, what I really mean is kefir cream. I plop a couple of grains in, then let it sit around on the counter for the usual times. Then the whole shebang goes into the fridge. Of course, an additional factor to my really thick sour/kefir cream is that I tend to make a bunch *in case* I feel like making something with it later. Then I don't, so it sits in the fridge longer, thickening more, till I get around to it. Look! More laziness on my part! MFJ If I have to be a grownup, can I at least be telekinetic too?

I always use the already-thick cream from the farmer because I'm not that good at straining *all* the milk out when I skim my own. If there's even a little bit of milk left in it, that's when I get thin/runny sour cream, no matter how long it sits. IIRC, the last time I made it with cream I skimmed myself, it took about two weeks in the fridge for it to thicken even to the point of the consistency of the farmer's original cream. Maybe that's your problem? MFJ If I have to be a grownup, can I at least be telekinetic too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I have not liked my sour cream made with kefir grains. A friend makes sour cream with GEM vegetable cultures that is divine -- thick and lemony. I think i may order some. Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, I pulled that pint out of the fridge last night to retrieve the grains. I don't have sour cream. I've got cream cheese. LOL. MFJ I don't wanna work, I wanna play in the dirt all day.
