Limoncello Vinaigrette

NcMysteryShopper's Note:

Great vinaigrette with the perfect combination of sweet, tart and fiery; makes this recipe a real winner. Use the vinaigrette on salad, seafood or even berries! You can use store bought Limoncello or use my recipe to make homemade Limoncello (Limoncello (Lemoncello, Limoncella)). Great gift idea!

Very tasty and quite a surprise! I would have never thought to use Limoncello for a vinaigrette but it truly was a nice change from our usual vinegar, vinaigrettes! I'm giving it 4 (+) stars rather than 5 because it was a tad "boozy" for our salad greens- but I can imagine it being a REALLLLLLY yummy marinade for chicken or fish. Can't wait to try it! Thanks for sharing yet another delish recipe, NcMysteryShopper!

I had some of my own home-made limoncello so I used that, I also cut down the olive oil just a tad. This has a really nice tang but I didn't really get the heat from from the peppers shining through so would increase that by a bit next time. Also my dressing solidified once refrigerated so I had to "nuke" it before pouring. Still really nice though, never would have thought of using limoncello on salad!
