Homemade Creamy Tarragon Dressing

November 17, 2015 By Patty Limatola-Tanenbaum Leave a Comment

Creamy Tarragon

Recently my best friend Melissa asked me what my favorite homemade salad dressings were as she wanted to experiment with making homemade dressings at home versus purchasing them.  Funny thing is, I grew up with only homemade dressings, Italian dressings (although we never measured the ingredients, we only eye balled our salad dressings directly on the salad).  Because of the modern day convenience I began to purchase all my salad dressings instead of making them, what a mistake.  Thanks to Melissa (what are best friends for after all) I began to experiment and tried this homemade creamy tarragon dressing…YUM!

Mock Pesto with No Nuts

October 15, 2015 By Patty Limatola-Tanenbaum Leave a Comment

On my honeymoon, 20 years ago with my ex, we went to Italy as part of the honeymoon as it was really important for me to have my ex meet my grandmother.  My ex and I ended up staying there for 1 week and it was such a magical time for me as I got one on one time with my grandmother.  During that time my grandmother taught me many of her recipes, one of which was a “mock pesto dressing”.  I had never thought of making pesto any other way than the traditional way with basil, pine nuts, parmesan cheese and olive oil but my nonna taught me several different ways to make pesto and they were all delicious!

This recipe is super easy, basically all your ingredients go in a food processor, I started with parsley, garlic clove, parmesan and lemon zest

parsley with lemon

added my basil

pre mixed

turn on food processor, in a slow stream add olive oil, here is how this pesto looks in a jar

Mock Pesto

this is a great recipe for a mock pesto that does not include nuts (making it cheaper to make as well as healthier), my recipe uses the parsley with the basil which gives it a layer of flavors so the nuts are not missed.  This recipe for pesto without nuts is great for pastas, it can be used as a salad dressing if mixed with a little more oil, I use it sparingly on green beans and it’s great for any recipe that calls for pesto.  Let me know what you think of my recipe!
