Heather’s Vinaigrette
Using a mini food processor makes this easy. You can use a large food processor or just chop everything very finely.
3/4 c. olive oil
1/2 c. white wine or champagne vinegar
4 garlic cloves
1 bunch cilantro, stems removed
1 serrano chili pepper, seeds and vein removed (omit for nightshade allergies)
salt & pepper to taste
- Process or chop all dry ingredients. Once finely chopped, add the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and process until well blended. Serve atop salad.
