Hi Alissa,
I'm more of a writer than a scientist, but I also have cooked with some
success for years. I always make my own salad dressings, and I have
noticed that by adding mustard (Dijon is my favorite) to olive oil and
balsamic vinegar, the mixture emulsifies easily. If you added honey to
the mixture, kids would probably eat it. Most kids are not exposed to
anything other than overly seasoned commercial dressings, so you might
need to experiment with the recipe some. We have found, as I'm sure you
have too, that if the kids are involved with the whole salad preparation
effort, they are much more likely to eat what results.
Good luck!
Joan

I'm looking for a "recipe" for salad dressing. Basically, I want to
demonstrate that oil and water don't mix, but if you
add....something...they will emulsify. I've heard that mustard might do
the trick? Has anyone tried this or something else that works well, and
that kids will eat?
feel free to reply off-list.
thanks
AD
