We regularly have salads with our dinner
I opt for leftover salads for many of my weekday lunches.
I love a light dressing made with a good quality olive oil and a flavoured balsamic vinegar.
The Tuscan Herb olive oil has a peppery taste
The Fattoria di Sommaia has a distinctive smooth flavour.
Flavoured balsamic vinegars create a superb salad dressing.
You can marinate chicken in these oils and vinegars
dress and coat veggies before roasting in the oven
dip focaccia bread in a blend of these two delicious ingredients.
Oil and vinegar
a happy marriage of flavours.
I also have a jam dressing that I make on the boat.
You need an empty jam jar...
Bonne Maman works for me.
3 tablespoons of jam
1/3 cup vinegar
1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper
1 cup of good quality olive oil
Shake to mix
Refrigerate dressing and shake again before serving.
I've been remiss in not posting regularly on the blog...
life has been busy!
I've been enjoying visits with the grandchildren,
and working in the garden.
We are embarking on a renovation too which is rather daunting...
our home will become a worksite.
Things will need to be packed up...
we will be sleeping in the guest room
as we have a crew here to remodel our master bedroom.
The electrical service upgrade is slated for tomorrow...
no power all day
I will need to go out for tea and coffee!
