this all came about due to my friendo asking me to be part of her new extension to her blog (click here to go to daveydarling) pretty face practi-fashion (hehe i will take it as a compliment cos of the pretty face thing) which will entail a few people dressing in our daveydarling pieces and describing our style inspiration which is just the tip of the iceberg. such an awesome idea from her always creative self! suuper excited to do this, and to share my experience of daveydarling clothing - and let me tell you, i have been rocking my new favourite top!
anyway, onto dressings of another type:)
today i was lazy so i literally threw together a salad and put frozen chicken sticks in the oven (lol). i usually don't eat frozen convenience foods but i was just being a lazy bum. anyway, to redeem my lethargic ways i decided to do a really awesome dressing for my salad. now this is a really well known dressing that i used but i put my little twist to it.
may's balsamic vinaigrette
- olive oil
- balsamic vinegar
- mustard (you should use dijon but i used hotenglish)
- salt
- pepper
- lemon juice
- sugar
- fresh herbs
you will need to add one part balsamic to two parts olive oil and literally eyeball the rest, keep tasting so it is suited to your taste. i add a little white sugar so it balances the tartness of the balsamic, mustard, and lemon juice. i also add fresh parsley (or rosemary sometimes) just to lift up the flavour. this addition makes all the difference!!!
dress your salad leaves - i used a mixture of baby spinach leaves and herbed lettuce - and then just plate up and serve with whatever you like :)
