Yesterday I went to my husband’s brew club beer & food pairing event, and one of my favorite dishes was a cole slaw with IPA (India Pale Ale) dressing. So I went online and found a similar recipe to add to tonight’s salad.
Source: Adapted from Food & Wine (June 2011) via www.thebittenword.com
Ingredients:
- 3 oz Indian Pale Ale (I used DH’s homebrew)
- 2 cloves minced garlic (the original calls for 1 tsp minced shallot)
- 1 tsp orange thyme, chopped (the original calls for 1 tsp orange zest, but I loved the thyme)
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 4 Tbsp olive oil (I used avocado oil)
- salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions: Mix well, I prefer to just put it in a jar and shake.
The Verdict: Mmmm, the flavors are divine (if you don’t like beer, though, you probably wouldn’t like this). It could have used some additional honey just because my salad had a lot of arugula and mustard greens in it.

My husband will love this dressing, I can’t wait to try it. It all sounds good together.
Yummmm! This sounds great. I’ll definitely have to try it. There’s always a couple six- packs of craft brew around here, and I can always use a new option or two for dressing greens this time of year, since that’s the main haul at the CSA for the moment.
