Martini Vinaigrette (2006)


Notes: A suggestion forum called for a vinaigrette as a base. We bought Ken's Steakhouse Lite Olive Oil Vinaigrette and used remainder of the bottle for another salad. This blended all the flavors perfectly. I chopped up a bunch of Manzanilla olives. For the juice in the dressing, we used concentrated lemon and I have a large bottle left for cooking....I read that most any citrus juice works good with vinaigrette. We used "Three Olives", a vodka imported from England (instead of gin)....a lovely vodka.
Nowadays (2021): I would like to try a martini vinaigrette with the Three Olives Citrus or Cucumber Lime vodka.


"The perfect vinaigrette is so easy to make that I see no reason whatsoever for bottled dressings."
-Julia Child
