STORY BEHIND THE DISH
I have always loved Corner Bakery's Chopped Salad & this is the closest I have come to recreating the dressing. It is a basic house dressing with a bit of mustard for a tangy taste.
MODIFICATIONS
Not much can be modified to come close to this recipe, I would suggest removing the red pepper flakes if you want to reduce the heat.
I'm too also very addicted to CB's chopped salad especially the dressing. This recipe comes very close to the original. Honestly, I can't tell the difference!!! Thank you so much for posting, Jen! I have been searching for this forever. Now I can eat it anytime I want....mwahahaha. For my taste, I use Safflower oil instead of olive oil, honey dijon mustard instead of whole grain dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon of sweet onion dressing.
ReplyDeleteGlad you could modify it to your liking. It is a delicious & very colorful salad. I love serving this dish! :)
DeleteI followed the recipe and can't get it to mix :( it seems the mustard and honey want to sit at the bottom... I'm super bummed! Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry I just noticied this comment! I suggest you put it all in a bowl first & whisk it then add it to the jar or a salad dressing shaker to pour. Some thicker honeys are hard to mix so you really need to mix it well. Hope this helps. Again so sorry for the late reply!
Deleteepic fail for me...not sure why it didn't turn out at all....
ReplyDeleteI don't know which Corner Bakery this recipe is trying to mimic but it tastes nothing like the house dressing from the Corner Bakeries in Houston Yuk!
ReplyDeleteYou can put 1/2 tsp of mayo to emulsify the dressing.
ReplyDeleteI love this recipe! Thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteI felt like it had too much olive oil. What type of olive oil did you use?
