Salad dressing is one area I have wanted to take control of in the kitchen. Purchased salad dressing is not only expensive but has ingredients I don't cook with, in my own home. Our favorite way to be prepared for salad is to keep a couple of different kinds of homemade salad dressing in our refrigerator.
I have been a lover of creamy blue cheese dressing my whole life! And I could go on eating that as my only salad dressing for the rest of my days. But I don't always have a wedge of blue cheese in the fridge and honestly, the time had come to branch out. Enter Cranberry with Thyme Vinaigrette...
This Cranberry with Thyme Vinaigrette is perfect to drizzle over mixed salad greens, then top with a sharp creamy cheese such as Blue Cheese or Feta. There is one thing I have recently learned, cheese on top of the salad is just as delicious as in the dressing.....
