Salad Vinaigrette

When I was a kid, we never bought salad dressing. My Mom always made the same vinaigrette and we all loved it. I've tweaked it just a little to suit my tastes, but it's still my favorite and what I use most of the time on my salads.

Salad Vinaigrette

1 tablespoon Gourmet Salad Vinegar
2 tablespoons water
salt and pepper to taste
2 dashes Salad Supreme

You can whisk all the ingredients together if you want to, or just do like me and add them one at a time and toss your salad. There's no oil in this vinaigrette, so there's really no need to whisk if you don't want to. Note: The picture makes it look like the vinegar is clear. It's actually amber; the bottle's just mostly empty! :)

Sweet Vinaigrette

Bob and I ate some chicken tacos at a local restaurant recently and there was this wonderful kind of oriental tasting vinaigrette on the coleslaw topper. Oh my goodness it was wonderful. I have tried to replicate it and have come kind of close. It's missing something I can't place and when I figure it out, I'll post an update. In the meantime, this vinaigrette is very good! We had fish tacos tonight and I didn't have any cabbage for coleslaw so I shredded a little baby spring mix lettuce and marinated it in the vinaigrette. Awesome on fish tacos! I can imagine marinating some tomatoes and cucumbers in this for a small green salad. Amounts of ingredients are not listed since you will make only the amount you need and to your own taste.
