You don't have to be afraid to make homemade dressings.
Whether you’re preparing a salad or some other meal item, it’s common to be intimidated when it comes to making a homemade dressing. But once you find a recipe that meets your skill level in the kitchen, you’re on your way to unlocking the secret to delicious food!
Here are a couple of our favorites, along with the recipes that we use on our menu.
Rachel Wrap
Who doesn't love the Rachel sandwich concept? Savory roasted turkey breast with the bite of Swiss cheese and the sweetness of coleslaw! It’s long been a deli standard, and since many of our customers are often picking up lunch to take back to their office, we decided to make this a wrap to help make it a little less messy and a bit more desk-friendly.
This sandwich starts with green leaf lettuce, deli Swiss cheese, sliced turkey breast (roasted in-house). We top all of this with our house-made *coleslaw. The star of this wrap is the house-made Russian Dressing. With just five ingredients, this is a tangy, crunchy, creamy addition to elevate your taste buds. Additional dressing can certainly be used on a salad.
Russian Dressing
1 cup mayonnaise
4 tablespoon ketchup
4 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
Mix by hand.
*Coleslaw - green and red cabbage, matchstick carrots, scallions, mayo, sour cream, a dash of celery seed and a dash of sugar
Avocado Caesar Wrap
Every once in a while, a customer will make a special request and sometimes that request sparks a brand new menu item. The Avocado Caesar is a meatless version of our Chicken Caesar. As you can guess, the key ingredient is the Caesar Dressing which we make from scratch.
We begin by layering the vegetables on a 10" plain wrap. Start with a bed of fresh green leaf lettuce–chiffonade or whole pieces. Be generous with the greens since it should have a Caesar Salad feel to it. Top the greens with thin-sliced cucumbers and onions, diced tomatoes and a generous amount of fresh avocado (we use 1/2 to 3/4 of an avocado). Drizzle the Caesar Dressing over all the ingredients, roll the wrap, cut in half and enjoy.
Creamy Caesar Dressing
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/8 cup dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic
3 lemons (juice and zest)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup olive oil (more for salad dressing, less for sandwich spread)
salt and pepper to taste
Mix in food processor or use blending wand.
