Creamy Mustard Sauce

Just found this recipe in a text file as I was cleaning up my hard drive. No idea where it came from or why I saved it, but it does sound like it would be a nice sauce for chicken or ham. Probably wouldn’t be bad lightly spread on a sandwich either. The recipe makes 1½ cups.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Ranch Style Dressing
  • 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
  • 2 tbsp green onion, chopped
  • pinch of cracked black pepper

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir well.
  2. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Do-It-All Marinade

A recipe from the August 2011 issue of All You (original here). The note with the recipe explains, “Great on chicken, meat, fish or even veggies, this simple marinade is sure to become your go-to for grilling. This recipe makes enough for about 6 lb. of meat. If you’re not planning to make that much, think of it as 3/4 cup of marinade for 2 lb. of meat. Cover and refrigerate any extra marinade to use later on that week.”

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Whisk all ingredients together.
  2. Pour marinade over chicken, steak or pork; cover and chill meat for at least 5 hours.
  3. Remove meat from marinade, discarding marinade.
  4. Pat meat dry and cook as desired.
