summertime! 

high season for

salad dressings


31 degree celcius outside - marvellous summer! high season for all kinds of cool salads and special summer dressings.


Here are my three favourite dressings for different kinds of salads. The following dressings have all to be pureed with a blender.


No 1: strawberry-dressing for red oak leave lettuce with radicchio.

4 big strawberries
2 spoon of strawberry vinegar
crushed black pepper
sea salt
brown sugar
organic sunflower oil
1 clove of freshly pressed garlic
wild basil leaves


The basil and the sweetness of the strawberry are accompagnied by the strong taste of fresh garlic. Important for the composition is to have tasty basil and sweet strong strawberries completed by a fine strawberry vinegar.


No 2: sweet bavarian mustard dressing

Bavarians like sweet salad dressings. People of the North often consider these dressings as far too sweet. Born an grown up in Bavaria I love them very much. These sweet dressings get along very well with bitter salads like radicchio or chicory as well as strong ones like rocket or portulaca.

1 spoon of Händlmaier classic sweet mustard (never ever take any other sweet mustard – this is the best:-)
1 spoon of dijon original
2 spoons of tasty apple vinegar
2 spoons of mild olive oil
1 spoon of strong dark honey
sea salt
crushed black pepper



No3: the creamy honey mustard lemon dressing

This yoghurt dressing is on top of my taste list. I love to eat it with butter riasted little lettuce hearts as well as radicchio or iceberg lettuce.


1 spoon of dijon honey mustard (again: never ever take another one – this is the best:-)
2 spoons of tasty white old balsamico 
2 spoons of mild olive oil
1 spoon of dark brown sugar
sea salt
6 spoons of fat mild yoghurt (best is Andechser natural fat)
crushed white pepper
zests from one lemon
3-4 fresh oregano leaves

enjoy your summer salads!

gaumenperlen - a label by mobile minds, monika ebert::: gaumenperlen is a diary about affairs of the heart. I´m addicted to delicious food, unique and extraordinary places as well as valuable things, fine arts, design, music, tango argentino and interesting people. The focus of this diary is food. Delicious food is much more than nutrition, health or prestige. it is the basis of your body& soul, it is at the core of your way to think, to live and act, it is your attitude towards nature. For me cooking is a wild, joyful, creative process with the objective to share the result in the end. This process is surrounded by a bunch of exciting encounters - nevertheless where I am:: at the markets, talking to producers, at the book stores, in restaurants, in my kitchen. That´s why I love cooking and travelling.
