can i substitute rice vinegar when making a salad dressing?

Answer 1

Yes you can use any kind of vinegar when making salad dressing. Just expect a different flavor than from your normal dressing. Here is a collection of vinaigarette recipes I have collected from all over the web

1.Herbal Balsamic Vinegar
Here is a wonderful balsamic vinegar tip: The legendary artisan balsamic vinegars that we hear about from the Modena region of Italy ARE NOT exported. What we get are really dumbed-down versions. Yet, there is a solution: buy a mid-range product for about $8 to $10 per litre, then when you get ready to use it -- especially in salad vinaigrettes-- whisk in some dark brown sugar. The ratio suggested is 1 part sugar to 10 parts balsamic vinegar. Figure that in teaspoons or tablespoons, depending on how much vinaigrette you want to make (i.e. 1 teaspoon brown sugar to 10 teaspoons vinegar). Then, whisk in a dash of salt, some black pepper, maybe a bit of crumbled dried oregano, and a clove of garlic, pressed. Whisk in olive oil last. The tradional ratio on that is 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar, or you may use more of a 50-50 ratio (more vinegar flavor; less total fat). It is not recommended to amend your entire bottle of vinegar with sugar all at the same time -- just what you are going to use in a given recipe.

1/4 tsp basil
1/4 tsp McCormick's Spicy blend, or other general purpose spice blend

1 tsp Dijon mustard
4 tsp cold water
6-8 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp each of salt and black pepper

1 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cilantro
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cumin

Basil-Sesame Dressing
1/4 tsp garlic powder
3 T rice wine vinegar
1 T lemon juice
2 T asiago or the cheese of your choice
1/2 tsp dried basil
2-4 leaves of fresh basil
2 T chopped Italian or regular parsley
1/2 C extra light olive oil
1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil

2 T rice vinegar
2 T capers, drained
1/4 tsp dijon mustard
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/3-1/2 C extra light olive oil

Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette
1/2 C extra light olive oil
2 T plain yoghurt
2 T lemon juice
2 T rice vinegar
1/4 C fresh, shreaded cilantro leaves, tightly packed

1 T Dijon mustard 1/4 tsp each garlic powder, sage, thyme, basil and oregano

2 T each red wine vinegar and lemon juice
1/2 tsp mustard powder, oregano and basil

Put chopped tomatoes, lemon juice and vinegar in blender and blend at high speed. Add other ingredients, blending again at medium speed. Chill overnight before serving.

Answer 3

Yes, rice wine vinegar has a lighter nicer taste than regular white vinegar

Answer 4

Sure!... The difference between all other food preparation and baking is that baking follows a specific formula and specific instructions on preparation... Every thing else involves interpretation and personal tastes.... Good food preparation involves the art of combining tastes, textures and smells to successfully satisfy the palate. Creativity is essential in creating a successful meal! Enjoy yourself!
