CHENIN BLANC VINAIGRETTE

Here’s a light and sharp vinaigrette to dress any salad.
 

Makes 1 cup (250 mL)

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons (25 m) Chenin Blanc wine
• 2 tablespoons (25 mL) white wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon (5 mL) minced dried onions
• 1 teaspoon (5 mL) dried red bell pepper (see below)
• 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) ground ginger
• 3/4 cup (175 mL) soybean oil

Directions

In a bowl, whisk together wine, vinegar, dried onions, red pepper, basil and ginger.  While whisking, pour oil in a steady stream until emulsifies, about 45 seconds.

Tip
Dried red and green bell peppers are concentrated small diced bell peppers that yield a fresh taste and flavor. They are available in bulk food and spice stores. If you can’t find them, use a double amount of diced fresh bell peppers instead.
