A great vinaigrette makes anything better.
Vinaigrette
I believe that homemade flavor is the secret to wonderful, healing food.
But I also believe that when it comes to the healing phase, simpler is better.
The difference between a salad dressing and a vinaigrette is that the vinaigrette is simpler; a salad dressing is more encompassing.
Historically, a vinaigrette has consisted of:
- oil
- wine vinegar
- seasoning
And yes, it can truly be that simple and still provide incredible flavor.
Blueberry Vinaigrette
I made this dish the night I also made sauteed swiss chard & kale with fig.
There are minimal ingredients, which is something I’m trying to do more and more of these days.
I enjoy simple, beautiful things that serve the purpose of feeding, satisfying and healing.
I’ve learned over the past several years that these multi-purpose objectives can be easily achieved.
The only thing required is that you are committed to achieving your very best, and refuse to accept anything less.
Time to dig in.
I have created a summer salad to go along with the Homemade Blueberry Vinaigrette.
