Pat Piper or Sonoma, California, sends us her recipe
rather assertively called Pat's Famous and Healthful
Low-Cholesterol Salad Dressing. She first tried a
balancing act of 1 to 1 (equal parts oil and vinegar).
But overly tart results pushed her back to traditional
ratios of 3 (oil) to 1 (vinegar).
She then elected to combine predominantly
monounsaturated olive oil with three significantly
polyunsaturated vegetable oils, hoping to bring better
nutrition by way of variety. Liking the concept of
variety, she also combined several vinegars.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk or shake together olive
oil, safflower oil, soy oil, peanut oil, balsamic
vinegar, cider vinegar, garlic, blue cheese, soy
sauce, dry mustard, pepper, and basil. Makes about 1
1/3 cups.
