French Vinaigrette
$10.00 – $27.00Traditional French meals are completed by serving a simple salad course, frequently just lettuce or frisee leaves moistened by a very light vinaigrette. Our French Vinaigrette Dressing is authentically based on shallots, milled mustard seed, and French herbs. After mixing (directions below), pour some dressing into the bottom of your salad bowl before adding the dry lettuce. Toss and enjoy. Also makes a wonderful marinade for asparagus, broccoli, or green beans. Bon appetit!
Traditional French dressing or vegetable marinade directions: Mix 2T Blend with 2T water, let stand 5 minutes to rehydrate. Whisk in ½ cup olive oil & 1/4 to 1/3 cup vinegar (typically sherry vinegar, wine vinegar, or our personal favorite, champagne vinegar).
Hand blended in small batches: shallots, sea salt, mustard, black pepper, and tarragon.
Quick Tips:
- Toss some French Vinaigrette Spice Blend on white fish before grilling or pan-frying.

Garden Gems really are little gems. I add them to just about anything, especially when something I’ve made up needs some extra zip. ~ posted 3/2/2016

I mix it with Olive Oil, spread it in a flat, wide bowl and roll a pork roast through it over and over. I let it sit for awhile, role it some more. Do it on “Roast” in my Wolf Gang Puck mini-electric oven. We serve it with some home made apple sauce, or pear/apricot sauce, and it’s heaven.

I usually do all things in the kitchen myself. However, this blend is so versatile and so yummy that I buy it in bulk! It makes the most fabulous homemade buttermilk ranch dressing. It is, as they suggest, great in eggs. Also wonderful on fish and poultry and on all sorts of vegetables. Love it!!
