If you like curry and are looking for a low cal salad dressing option, this may be the dressing for you! Modified for less salt from the SparkPeople site recipe for Almond Chicken Salad with Asparagus.
Delicious Persian salad that I always get when I go to restaurants. Cheaper to make it at home and goes with any meal. You might find sumac at any middle eastern store, but if you can't find it leave it out. It just adds an extra tang to the salad.
Chop garlic very fine.
Add dijon to the garlic and whisk in the olive oil.
Add the juice of a lemon and whisk again.
Add the balsamic vinegar and whisk until an emulsion has occurred.
Asian vinaigrette: Substitute sesame oil (decrease to 1 T) for the Olive oil and soy sauce for the lemon. Use Rice vinegar instead of balsamic and add grated fresh ginger.
You can change the flavor by experimenting with different oils (I love walnut, unrefined peanut and avocado oil) and different acidic bases (lemon juice, different vinegars, grapefruit juice, etc) and omitting garlic to tone down the flavor as well. Be creative in your approach to the flavor and use the best ingredients you can afford.

This Italian favorite is made with white, fresh mozzarella cheese, available in the deli of most supermarkets. Its different than the blocks of mozzarella you grate over pizza. It has a softer texture and a mellow, slightly salty taste.
