Are your mealtimes monotonous?
Same stuff, different day? In the fast-paced 90's,
many people are looking to save
time, but still would like to add taste and variety to
meals. Try marinading with bottled
salad dressings as a colorful cooking alternative,
whether you're trying something
new or refreshing a family favorite.
"There is really
no end of taste and variety
you can add by marinating with bottled salad dressings,
as each bottle contains a perfect
blend of spices and seasonings, "And varying the meal
is as easy as varying the dressing.
Whether you choosea zesty Italian dressing or a bold
red wine vinaigrette, it's a
great way to add real flavor to a meal."
******************************************************
For faster preparation and a tastier meal, I offer the following tips.
o
Try marinading meat and vegetables in a self closing plastic bag for easy,
no-mess clean-up.
o
Prior to marinading, do not pierce meat or poultry as it results in greater
moisture
loss during cooking.
o
Always marinate in the refrigerator.
******************************************************
Beef and stronger meats can be
left marinading all day or even overnight. "Just place
marinading meat in the refrigerator
before leaving for work in the morning and dinner
is half-ready when you walk
in the door that evening, Chicken, Seafood and veggies
require less time, both marinate
in 30 minutes or less.
