662601 Tue Oct 27 05:50:41 -0700 2009 11 22 Quebec (including Montreal) 0 5133909 I would love to have the recipe of the salad dressing that used to be served with the platters at Amazona's before the restaurant closed and unfortunately became Carmines. Not that Amazonas was so fantastic, no where near as good as Marathon or Parthenon, yet i find myself really missing that salad, i know that i can create that simple blend of cabbage and iceberg at home but would love to have some imput as to what you guys think went it to that house dressing! Tue Oct 27 05:50:42 -0700 2009 1097746 eshultzy 1 5135779 OMG, I loved that salad too but was never able to figure out exactly what was in it. It is one of my favorite all-time salad dressings and I miss it so!!! I would say mayo and garlic would certainly factor in but I have no idea what else. Any other guesses? Tue Oct 27 16:43:16 -0700 2009 5133909 175441 CookEatSleep 2 5136729 Mayo, Garlic, pepper, lemon juice perhaps? Wed Oct 28 05:25:52 -0700 2009 5135779 1097746 eshultzy 3 5141494 There has gotta be more to it than that. I've made mayo, garlic, pepper, lemon juice and it didn't taste anything close to the Amazona dressing. I am thinking that there is maybe oregano and there's gotta be something more but it has been a long time since I have had that salad. Thu Oct 29 16:30:19 -0700 2009 5136729 175441 CookEatSleep 4 5141600 What was in the salad mix? And what did the dressing taste like, was it sweet , lemony,creamy?,etc. Thu Oct 29 17:12:09 -0700 2009 5141494 78270 pxkid 5 5151704 creamy Tue Nov 03 07:25:57 -0800 2009 5141600 1097746 eshultzy 1 5152196 I'm guessing mayo, maybe even some plain yogurt, olive oil, S&P, vinegar (cider or red wine), and oregano. I lived in the building across the street while a student and got a ton of takeout that year- portions big enough to feed me for 3 days! Tue Nov 03 09:57:32 -0800 2009 5133909 14157 C70 2 5152346 oh, and garlic, i forgot garlic! having intimate knowledge of the greek restaurant industry, I am guessing powdered garlic, and dried parsley too. But, by all means, use fresh! Tue Nov 03 10:38:15 -0800 2009 5152196 14157 C70 3 5154437 I know someone who worked there for a few years (not in the kitchen though), I could ask them and see if they would have any idea. Wed Nov 04 05:41:02 -0800 2009 5152346 71168 ios94 4 5156318 I've had something similar to what your describing and it was made from eggs,oil, mustard powder, vinegar , lemon , garlic , oregano , sugar , dill ,salt , pepper , chick base. It makes a creamy dressing that goes well with a cabbage and iceberg type salad that you describe. Hope it helps . Good luck.

Tue Nov 10 08:21:39 -0800 2009 5156318 1097746 eshultzy 4 5169912 OMG... that would be fantastic, if they dont know they might even have a friend who worked there as a cook and they might possbily have them on facebook, and they might possbily be able to ask them for the recipe!!!!! THAT would be amazing! Tue Nov 10 08:19:28 -0800 2009 5154437 1097746 eshultzy
