SUMMER VINAIGRETTE
This light, aromatic summer vinaigrette can be used with either fresh young salad greens, the season's first tomatoes, or just to brighten up steamed veggies, including potatoes. It's good tossed with cooked grains, too. An easy trick for making any dressing is to make it in the bottom of the salad bowl you are planning to use for your salad, and rubbing the garlic around the bottom of bowl coats it with just enough garlic juice to give your salad a light garlicky flavor.
