I thought it would be fun to have some of my favorite bloggers guest post this week (don’t I deserve a tiny break after the last year? I’m exhausted!) This is the first time I have opened up 365 til 30 to guest bloggers and I am so excited. Today’s post is from the adorable Christine of Ink Lemonade. I have a slight blog crush on her- not only is she talented, but she also happens to have the cutest baby (I think I am suffering from baby envy!). Enjoy her inventive cooking ideas!
- 1 tablespoon wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons very finely minced shallot
- 1/2 teaspoon regular or light mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon table salt
- Ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh minced parsley or chives
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme , tarragon, marjoram, or oregano
- 1. Combine vinegar, shallot, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper to taste in small nonreactive bowl. Whisk until mixture is milky in appearance and no lumps of mayonnaise remain.
- 2. Place oil in small measuring cup so that it is easy to pour. Whisking constantly, very slowly drizzle oil into vinegar mixture. If pools of oil are gathering on surface as you whisk, stop addition of oil and whisk mixture well to combine, then resume whisking in oil in slow stream. Vinaigrette should be glossy and lightly thickened, with no pools of oil on its surface. Add herbs just before use.
- 1 1/2 cups pearl barley (not quick-cooking)
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots (about 1 medium)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup roughly chopped fresh herbs
- 1/2 to 1 clove garlic, peeled
- 2 cups packed flat-leaf parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 3/4 cup roasted pistachios
- Salt and pepper
- 2/3 cup olive oil
What a perfect salad for summer! Thanks for sharing.
