Mariel's Amazing Salad Dressing
By: ms_bold
Dec 20, 2004
This recipe was adopted after Mean Chef (IHHDRO) left the site. His original comments were, "A very mustardy, robust dressing for salad greens. Can also be used as a marinade for fish. Recipe adapted from Mariel Hemingway." I first prepared it at the urging of Shelly, and wasn't sorry. My original review stated, "This is a very mustardy dressing. I followed Shelly's suggestion of reducing the mustard and adding more to taste as I blended the dressing. I used a dijon dressing and black olives, as this is what I had on hand. I also cut back the recipe to yield only enough for a couple of salads. I knew that my hubby wouldn't be interested, and wanted to make only enough for me to use in a day or so. The flavors are bright and fresh and really add to simple tossed salads. I like the fact that I am gaining the nutrition of the spinach in this dressing." This has become one of my favorite dressings.

I saw Mariel hemingway make this on TV. I have wanted to try it since then.. I t is really different, but very good. I followed the other reviwers suggestions and cut the mustard to 1/2 cup and it is perfect for us!

This is a beautiful vibrant green dressing and yes it is unusual and very very strong with mustard but it grows on you. It's a bit overwhelming when you taste it on its own but when tossed with lettuce it calms down and somehow works. I've also had this as a fish marinade on halibut that made fish tacos and it was very good that way as well. And if you're not a mustard freak like me you might want to just add half the mustard to start with and see what you think of it. This is an excellent option for those watching fat and calorie intake as unlike most dressings this has very little oil in it. Enjoy!

A unique dressing with a beautiful color; it's also far healthier than many salad dressings. I had only 3/4 of a cup of mustard on hand, and the recipe turned out fine with that amount. This is a tasty change of pace on salads, and I used it tonight as a marinade for tilapia (for Mean Fish Tacos #107447). It turned this somewhat bland type of fish into a very tasty meal.
