Low Fat Shallot Dressing Recipe

Ingredients

2/3 cup water

1 teaspoon arrowroot

1 tablespoon dijon mustard

1/4 cup finely slivered shallots

1/4 cup sherry vinegar

Method

In a 1- to 1 1/2-quart pan, blend H2O smoothly with arrowroot.

Bring to a boil, stirring.

Chill (quickly, by setting pan in ice water) and add mustard, shallots, and vinegar.

Use, or cover and chill up until next day.

Makes about 1 cup.

This is easy to adapt to your tastes, adding whatever seasonings you want to what is really only just thick water.

One warning, be careful with the arrowroot.

It thickens just as it comes to the boil but I found it must be cooked a bit or the dressing will taste starchy.

I think that also results from using too much arrowroot.

A general rule: for 1 Cup H2O 1/2 tablespoon arrowroot thin sauce 1 tablespoon medium 3/2 - 2 tablespoon thick (be careful, too much ick Per Tablespoon: 4 cal.
