Vinaigrettes are Best by darylo

Vinaigrettes are Best

Today, I decided to make a nice simple salad. I've been reading my new "The Unofficial Downton Abbey Cookbook" and there is a salad called Spinach Salad with Goat Cheese, Toasted Walnuts, and Pears. Well, I only had the goat cheese, so I looked to the vinagrette--I had all the ingredients, and it's a keeper!

Here is the vinaigrette: 1 T redwine vinegar, 1T balsamic vinegar, 1 T minced shallot, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 t lemon juice, 2 t Dijon mustard, 1 t sugar, 1 t salt, 1/2 t fresh pepper. This is a wonderful dressing--bold and rich. I'll make the real salad next, but the dressing, oh, the dressing--yes, vinaigrettes are Best!

Note: T=tablespoon, t=teaspoon
Daryl, I will love seeing your daily photos, especially the ones about food. How tough for me that my project is going to be so boring compared to yours! You rock! 14 days :)
