Salad Dressing

[stevo4264]

Had prawns for lunch today with salad (thinly sliced carrot, cucumber, onions, snow peas, grapes, cherry tomatoes, chopped lettuce, the dressing I used was the juice of 2 limes, 2 tablespoons of sugar and a splash of fish sauce, thought it went very well with the seafood.
Anyone else got some good dressings for seafood?

This one is good with a nice piece of salmon or anything really. Last time I used it, I had many requests for the recipe. Unfortunately, it's not my own.

1 tsp minced shallots
1/4 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tsp honey
2 TBSP chopped capers with their liquid
2 TBSP fresh lemon juice
1 TBSP champagne vinegar
1 tsp chopped fresh dill
2 tsp chopped fresh parsley
salt & pepper to taste

Combine it all then whisk in 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil slowly.

I usually modify based on what I have on hand and typically add more garlic and shallot. Also due to popularity, I double it as well since it usually ends up on the side salads.

You ever try doing it with Lime juice instead, or because its thrown on side salads its better with the lemon?

I never really picked up a lot of lemon in this one because of most of the other ingredients. I'd surely try it with lime if I was out of lemons. This dressing seems to be very forgiving as long as the foundation stands. It's kinda sweet because of the honey.
