I’m such a fickle cow. I’ve replaced my favourite salad dressing yet again. These days it’s all about spice! If you can’t stand the heat, this salad, based on one I had at Sariwon Korean restaurant in Thornhill, Ont., is definitely not for you:
Spicy Korean Dressing
1 tbsp (15 mL) rice vinegar
11/2 tsp (7 mL) sambal olek or Asian chili paste
1 tsp (5 mL) soy sauce
1/2 tsp (2 mL) granulated sugar
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1 tsp (5 mL) toasted sesame oil
3 tbsp (45 mL) vegetable oil
Whisk vinegar, sambal olek and soy sauce together. Stir in sugar, garlic and salt. Whisking constantly, drizzle in sesame and vegetable oils.
Makes about 1/3 cup (75 mL)
Revisit some of my other favourite salad dressings if you need more inspiration to eat a bowl of veggies:
• Curry Vinaigrette
• Creamy Sesame Dressing
• Miso Dressing
• Lemony Dill Dressing

You are the salad dressing Queen! Seriously! I love that curry vinaigrette and I’ve been making your dill and honey one regularly. I put it over a new potato salad last weekend and it was a hit.
Thanks!
Hey, I beat you to something! Okay, maybe not really.
To be honest, I’m partial to plain on oil and vinegar or a simple maple balsamic as a daily dressing.
I love Asian-style salad dressing! This one sounds delicious!
Cheers,
Rosa
This one is definitely for me. I love sambal olek! And, I’m glad you’re fickle … more new dressings to try. Yay!
Oh, this sounds mouth-watering. I think a simple salad with this dressing is in order.
I’m always looking for spicy dressing my husband would like. I be this would even make a great dip for those meatballs he’s addicted to.
Love that your fickle in this way.
Thanks ladies! Drop me a note if you try this recipe. I’ll be curious to here what you think of it.
Sounds really good. I don’t usually make spicy dressing but that could be good for a change.
The next time I see you I swear I’m calling you a fickle cow. In fact, I may start calling other people fickle cows, too, just to gauge their reactions.
Cheryl – go for it! I’ve been called worse – ‘fickle cow’ would be a step up!
