Steps:
- Put each slice of veal between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a flat mallet without breaking the tissues. Set aside.

Tips:
- Choose a good quality vermouth. A dry vermouth will give you a more savory vinaigrette, while a sweet vermouth will give you a sweeter vinaigrette. The quality of the vermouth will also affect the overall flavor of the vinaigrette, so be sure to choose one that you enjoy drinking.
- Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil is the other main ingredient in the vinaigrette, so be sure to use one that is flavorful and has a nice fruity aroma. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, as it has the most flavor.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices. The herbs and spices that you use in your vinaigrette will add flavor and complexity. Some good choices include thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, garlic, and shallots. You can also add a touch of Dijon mustard or honey to taste.
- Let the vinaigrette sit for a while before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. If you can, make the vinaigrette a day ahead of time and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.
- Use the vinaigrette on a variety of salads. Vermouth vinaigrette is a great choice for salads made with leafy greens, grilled vegetables, or fruit. It can also be used as a marinade for chicken, fish, or tofu.
Conclusion:
Vermouth vinaigrette is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads and dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. So next time you are looking for a new salad dressing, give vermouth vinaigrette a try. You won't be disappointed.
