Shared recipes are the best

If you saw my last post, titled Heartbroken, you will know of the tragedy our family recently experienced. I am getting back on schedule and sharing here at GPTHeart, a recipe from my dear niece, Toni.

I have made this vinaigrette many times since Toni brought a huge salad with this delicious dressing for a Thanksgiving dinner. It was held many years ago at her mom’s home. Toni knew how much I liked it and sent me a copy of the recipe. It seems appropriate to honor Toni by sharing it here today.

Serve as is or top with grilled steak, chicken or shrimp.While the vinaigrette is cooling, prepare a salad using your favorite combination of seasonal veggies. This salad includes baby spinach leaves, yellow squash, zucchini, tomato and red onion and topped with Feta cheese. You could change it up with a spring mix, sliced pears or apples, dried raisins and Parmesan slivers. Add toasted nuts or croutons as you please.

 

Looking for a main dish entree? Add grilled steak or chicken, thinly sliced or top with cooked shrimp. The vinaigrette compliments them all.
