I am always a bit nervous about mixing sweet with sour flavours but this vinaigrette really works! I served it over a green salad and DH in particular loved it and went back for more. We'll be making this again for sure! Made for PAC Spring 2012.

Delicious vinaigrette that has a hint of sweetness but not overpowering. I used it on baby spinach and fresh Italian tomatoes from my garden. Made for PAC Fall 2009.
