Herbal Red Wine Vinaigrette (AJ) & Zucchini Salad (Karla)--review

[Guest guest]

I finally got some zucchini and was going to do Karla's salad

w/dressing, but AJ's dressing turned up this morning and since the

only herbs I grow are basil, chives, parsley, & mint, I had to do it.

I marinated the veggies for 6 hours.

 

And boy, both the salad combo AND the dressing are great! Normally I

wouldn't have paired the mint with chives and basil, but it worked

very well. Thanks, guys!

Drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly, until the

vinaigrette is emulsified.
