Chick Pea Salad Sandwich

 INGREDIENTS

1 lb. cooked chickpeas

¼ cup good-quality mayo

1 large garlic clove minced

1 tsp. ground turmeric

2 tbsp. chopped parsley

¼ tsp. salt or to taste

¼ tsp. pepper or to taste

For serving: sliced bread, pita, or tortilla wraps

INSTRUCTIONS

Rinse the cooked chickpeas and drain well. Add the chickpeas to a bowl, and mash them with a potato masher. I prefer to roughly mash around 75% of them to give a nice texture to the salad.

Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.

Spread a generous amount of the chickpea salad on a slice of your favorite bread.

Add toppings (avocado, cucumber, boiled egg) and drizzle with a little bit of olive oil, if desired.

Salad Dressing Mix bulk

 So see Sachiko Salad Dressing

Most oil and vinegar dressings say the ratio is 3 oil, 1 vinegar

Sachikos is almost the exact opposite


Test #1 - going with 50-50
started with 
1 cup oil
1 cup vinegar
1/2 cup sweet
1/2 cup lemon juice
Whiz with immersion blender
add 2 tsp mustard
season with 1/2 tsp each of paprika, salt, oregano garlic granules, celery seed

made several batches like this.
sugar varied with syrup, white sugar and no sugar
reduced the seasoning in the later batches, (thought there was too much salt)

early batches seemed to separate after a while- I think it was  the lemon juice
only put lemon in the first 2 or 3 batches
Seemed to stay emulsified better after that.

 Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided 

1/2 small head green cabbage, shredded (about 8 cups)

2 tablespoons chopped garlic

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups whole milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 7-by-11-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add cabbage and garlic; cook, stirring often, until the cabbage is just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the cabbage mixture to the prepared baking dish. Do not wipe the skillet.

Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet. Add flour; cook, whisking constantly, until smooth and thick, about 1 minute.
