Where Confidence Reluctance and Sass Come To A Boil

Badass Burning Flames

Quick Vinaigrette

I made a dinner salad a few nights ago that had prepared chicken salad in the center.  I needed a simple vinaigrette to dress the greens, one that wouldn’t upstage the chicken salad, so this is what I came up with.  The result was excellent.  Perfectly balanced and not too tart.

The Stuff You Need:

3 Tablespoons Sherry Vinegar

1/3 Cup Olive Oil

1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder

1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder

1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt

Here's How It's Done:

Combine all ingredients in a jar or cruet.  Shake before serving.  Will keep in the fridge several weeks.

Notes:

The plate in the picture is what I call a Chicken Salad Nicoise.

10 ounces pre-cooked Chicken Breast (canned is totally okay, just drain off the liquid first)

1 Tablespoon minced Red Onion

2 teaspoons minced Celery

A few shakes of dried Tarragon, to taste

Salt & pepper, to taste

A few Tablespoons Mayonnaise; just enough to hold the mix together

 

Salad greens

Artichoke hearts

Black Olives

Tomato, cut in strips

Optional garnish: anchovy, parmesan cheese, My Blue Kitchen Lemon Oil

Final Thoughts:

Makes enough for two dinner salads.  There were no leftovers.
