Homeira's Champagne Vinaigrette
Homeira's Champagne Vinaigrette

artSAVOR 75 is a requisite ingredient for my tangy, smoky and versatile champagne vinaigrette. It is one of my refrigerator Basics that I always have on hand with nearly endless uses. It is great for a wide variety of creations from salads, steamed vegetables, pizzas, crudos, sandwiches, tacos, seafood, to crudités and so much more. As there are no ingredients that spoil or go off easily, and any ingredient with an expiration or “use by date” is for from expiry, this will last refrigerated for weeks. But, trust me, it will not last as you will be using it on everything! Make a double batch! Explore other flavored oils or flavored vinegars to make it your own. Get creative!

Homeira's Yummy Yogurt & Horseradish Sauce
Homeira's Yummy Yogurt & Horseradish Sauce

artSAVOR 75 is a requisite ingredient for this version of my creamy, tangy, smoky and versatile yogurt sauce. It is one of my BASICS, a refrigerator essential condiment with many uses. It is great for sandwiches, tacos, kabobs, steaks, seafood, poultry and crudités. As it does not include more perishable produce, it can be made in a larger quantity. It should last as long as the “Use by Date” of your dairy products, so make sure you use the freshest. The measurements are guidelines. If you want it thicker, use more sour cream or yogurt – thinner a bit more buttermilk. I tend to make it from what I have on hand. If I only have prepared horseradish, that’s what I use instead of creamy horseradish sauce. Make it your own! Get creative!
