Balsamic Vinaigrette

I’d be severely remiss if I didn’t give you this recipe because it goes wonderfully drizzled on pretty much anything that comes out of your garden.

Idea #1:  Roast up your garden veggies in the oven or grill and drizzle it on.

Idea #2:  Toss chopped up tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil and drizzle it on.

Idea #3:  Make a salad, and – you guessed it – drizzle it on!

Idea #4:  You can actually also use this as a marinade for steak!

1.  Combine 4 cloves of pressed garlic, 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar, a teaspoon of dry mustard, and a dash of salt and pepper in a jar.  Shake, shake, shake.

2.  Add a 1/4 cup of oil and shake again.

3.  Serve.

Trust me, you will be licking the plate clean.

Miso Dressing!

Here’s a quick and easy recipe for a delicious dressing.  Use it as a dip for fresh snap peas, drizzle it over lightly steamed carrots, or simply pour it on your salad!

Combine the following ingredients in a jar with a lid.  Shake until it’s all mixed up, and viola!

(Please note, amounts are approximate, feel free to adjust to taste!)

• Four cloves pressed garlic
• Two tablespoons yellow miso paste
• Two tablespoons soy sauce
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar

Add the oils last, after you’ve shaken the other ingredients up a bit:

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• Two tablespoons toasted sesame oil

Let me know how it comes out!
