Notes
I use the phrase "Good Stuff" Several times in this recipe. The quality of the ingredients will impact the taste. One does not often prepare this dish, so the splurge is worth it.
Some basic variations
For an Asian twist, balance the garlic with grated ginger.
For a mind-blowing experience, replace the garlic with grated horseradish.
Sub the honey for good quality Maple Syrup.
Balsamic vinegar makes a bold, slightly sweet dressing that is wonderful on green salads with fruit, such as apples, strawberries or peaches.
Red wine vinegar packs a punch and works well with other bold flavors and bright veggies, like tomatoes, bell peppers, olives, feta and more.
White wine vinegar is a more mellow vinegar, and it’s especially nice with more delicate flavors like spring greens, cucumber, zucchini, and sweet corn. It’s lovely on just about every green salad out there.
Champagne vinegar is even more mild than white wine vinegar. Apple cider vinegar is sweet and tangy and tastes lightly like apples. Sherry vinegar is similar to red wine vinegar but slightly less intense.
