More home-made salad dressing pages

Salad with vinaigrette dressingImage via Wikipedia

Okay, to be fair, I am putting here the list of the other webpages that teaches how (and sometimes, the what) to make salad dressings, at home.

And though I only was looking for one type of salad dressing, that is, a vinaigrette, I found others as well.

So here goes the list:






The fifth one was quite a shock! I was already contemplating a trip to the grocery so I can hunt for that salad dressing that I've been ignoring for so long. Oh, well... a timely advise, I guess.

Bon appetit!

Home-made salad dressings

Salad platterImage via Wikipedia

We just had our youngest daughter's baby dedication 2 Saturdays ago. That means I now have 4 daughters, and if you are looking at my profile, I haven't updated it, yet...

Anyway, with the varied dishes and delicacies that the guests can select and enjoy, what they'd like a lot is the fresh salad, and that is mainly because of the dressing. Naturally, because it was home-made.

Unfortunately, it was made not in our home, but in somebody else's. It's the caterer's home. And it won't do for me asking for the recipe.

I kinda like the salad dressing myself, and the girls, too! So how do we go about it?

So I said, "What do you know? We have the internet to look it up!"

I did, and I found many, but only 2 I am showing here, since they are more or less what I think give me what I'm looking for, in the format that I want: simple, direct, straightforward.

Here they are:



Enjoy!

Singapore-Style Buffalo Wings

Brought to you by FairPrice


A NATIONAL DELIGHT

This National Day, whip up a dish of Singapore-style Buffalo wings with FairPrice Garlic Chilli Sauce

Singaporeans adore fried chicken wings.

Every fast food joint worth its hamburgers has chicken wings on its menu - and nowhere is the Singaporean love for them more evident than at a certain Swedish furniture store where diners at its in-house restaurant form long queues for platefuls, which they lap up with lip-smacking and finger-licking glee.

At almost any other restaurant which offers their version, we often order up a serving of Buffalo wings. Deep-fried and slathered in hot sauce, they speak to the Singaporean love for chicken wings and spicy flavours.

So, this National Day, I decided to give the American recipe a twist (Buffalo refers to Buffalo, New York in the United States, where the dish originated) by using something quintessentially Singaporean: FairPrice Garlic Chilli Sauce.

Boasting a taste that is widely accepted, it features a pairing of two ingredients popular with Singaporeans: Garlic and chilli. Its sweetness also works well with barbecue sauce.

FairPrice Garlic Chilli Sauce is Halal, making it suitable for just about everyone. So, this is an excellent National Day party snack, which you can serve to your friends and family while watching the parade.

It doesn't matter if you're enjoying it at home, in front of the television, or from a picnic basket at the parade itself.

It is a dish that is tasty, fun and delightfully Singaporean - not to mention it makes you feel deliciously patriotic!


FairPrice Garlic Chilli Sauce ($1.35, 310g) is available at all FairPrice supermarkets.








Singapore-Style Buffalo Wings

Makes 10 wings


  • 1/2 cup FairPrice Plain Flour
  • 1/2 tsp FairPrice Ground Pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chilli powder
  • 10 chicken wings
  • FairPrice Canola Oil, for frying
  • 1 tbsp FairPrice Butter
  • 3 tbsp FairPrice Garlic Chilli Sauce
  • 1 tbsp barbeque sauce

  1. Combine the flour, pepper, garlic salt, paprika and chilli powder in a small bowl.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel.
  3. Put the wings into a large bowl and sprinkle the flour mixture over them, coating each wing evenly.
  4. Place them in the refrigerator for 60 to 90 minutes. (This will help the breading to stick to the wings when they are fried.)
  5. Heat oil in a deep fryer until it starts to shimmer (you want just enough oil to cover the wings entirely - an inch deep or so, at least).
  6. Meanwhile, combine the butter, FairPrice Garlic Chilli Sauce and barbeque sauce in a small saucepan and heat until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well blended. Set aside.
  7. Fry the wings until they turn golden brown on both sides. Remove and set on a plate lined with paper towels to drain for about 5 minutes.
  8. Toss the wings in the chilli sauce and stir to coat them evenly. You could also use a large plastic container with a lid for this. Put all the wings inside the container, add the sauce, put on the lid, and then shake. Serve immediately.

Healthy Roast Chicken Sandwich

What a spread!

Brought to you by FairPrice

Combining the goodness of two great oils, FairPrice Canola Olive Classic Spread is a delightfully healthy and tasty staple that your whole family will love

Both olive oil and canola oil are renowned for their healthful properties. FairPrice has combined the benefits of the two into one wholesome spread that your whole family can enjoy.

Both oils are great sources of omega three fatty acids, which have been shown to help lower cholesterol levels. This in turn, experts say, helps reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure.

Taste-wise, FairPrice Canola Olive Classic Spread is equally delicious. It has a wonderfully salubrious quality to it and spreads easily even straight from the fridge. It is Halal and lactose-free, making it a safe and nutritious choice for all.

I like to use it on toast in the mornings and in sandwiches that I put together for lunch or when I'm on the go. Case in point: This tasty roast chicken sandwich that you can prepare for the family - a healthy and delicious snack to sup on straight from their lunch box.

FairPrice Canola Olive Spread ($3.85, 500g) is available at all FairPrice supermarkets.





Healthy Roast Chicken Sandwich

Serves 2

  • 1 stalk rosemary
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 fresh chicken breast
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar or balsamic vinegar glaze
  • 4 slices wholemeal
  • 1 tbsp FairPrice Canola
  • Olive Classic Spread
  • A few salad leaves
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  1. To make roast chicken, crush rosemary, salt and garlic with olive oil in a mortar until the garlic and rosemary are well broken up.
  2. Rub this marinade over the chicken breast and leave covered in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In the meantime, pre-heat oven to 180°C.
  4. Place marinated chicken breast on a piece of foil on a baking tin and bake for 20 minutes. Remove and pour balsamic vinegar over the breast and set aside. You can do this a day in advance and keep the roasted chicken in the fridge until ready to use.
  5. To assemble sandwiches, slice the roast chicken breast.
  6. Place two slices of bread on a cutting board and spread with FairPrice Canola Olive Classic Spread.
  7. On one slice of bread, place a few salad leaves, topped with a slice of tomato. Place chicken breast slices on top and cover with the other slice of bread.
  8. Repeat with the next two slices of bread.
