Creamy Roasted Pepper & Caramelized Onion Dressing

Fresh, homemade salad dressings are so easy to make and can be customized to your liking.

This recipe started as a simple caramelized onion dressing (Adam loves a sweet vidalia dressing), but since we had roasted peppers in the fridge, we chose to add that as well.

This salad dressing is creamy, zesty and tangy, getting most of its flavor from onion, peppers, lemon juice, and some fresh herbs. Substitute your favorite herbs if you don't care for thyme or oregano -- rosemary, basil or dill would be fantastic!

Toss this in a salad, spread on a sandwich, or drizzle over some roasted vegetables! I love this dressing tossed with fresh spinach, healthy mix, avocado, apple, peach and mango.

Grilled Peach Chipotle Ketchup

I can't get enough of peaches.

In summertime, I eat at least a peach a day, whether it be plain, in a smoothie, baked, or grilled.

This ketchup is just another excuse to pack more peach into my day. It's sweet and tangy with a lingering smoky spice from the chipotle peppers.

I made this sauce with the Brown Butter Burgers with Cilantro & Scallion in mind, but I have plans to slather this on everything I can.

Spicy Roasted Red Pepper and Cilantro Sauce

When I put this sauce together, I had my Leek, Turkey Bacon & Feta Frittata in mind. I anticipated the frittata being decently rich and salty and I wanted something fresh and light to help balance the dish.

This sauce is naturally sweet from the roasted red peppers and spicy from the jalapeno hot sauce. It's also fairly acidic from the fresh lemon juice.

It pairs perfectly with the frittata, but it's also wonderful as part of a chicken salad, on grilled fish or with some chickpeas.

Quick & Easy Lemon Garlic Aioli

Aioli has been gaining popularity and it's easy to taste why. It's like the best mayo you've ever had, it's delicious on nearly everything, and it comes in so many flavors.

I love my aiolis really tart, as most of the time I use them with fried dishes (Fried Chipotle Polenta Balls, french fries, dumplings) and the citrus really helps to balance the richness.

This aioli is really simple to put together, is luxuriously thick and creamy, and is packed with lemon and garlic. If no one was watching, I would eat it by the spoonful.
