A side note: I started out making this
with Cuisine Perel's Spicy Pecan vinegar (available from Dr. Fuhrman's website
and
elsewhere). However, that got to be very expensive considering the amount
of this I use in a week. So I started making my own pecan-flavored vinegar
using pecan extract and seasoned rice vinegar. But seasoned rice vinegar
is loaded with sugar and salt, so I began using less of it and adding cider
vinegar. The moral of this story is that you can use all Spicy Pecan
vinegar or all seasoned rice vinegar (just use more vinegar instead of the
water).
Pecan Dijon Dressing
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
2-3 tsp. minced garlic (I buy it in big jars)
1 tbsp. Dijon-style mustard
1/2 tsp. pecan flavoring extract
2-3 tbsp. ground flax seeds
Shake all ingredients in a storage container or whirl in a blender. The
flax seed will cause the dressing to thicken
slightly over time, adding a nice consistency to it.
