summer vinaigrette

(1 rating)
Kitchen Crew
By Kitchen Crew

Sweet and tangy, light and refreshing, this summer vinaigrette will be in your fridge all summer. Lemon and orange zest add citrus flavor, while mint and basil add a bright and fresh taste. This dressing can be mixed by hand, but blending it intensifies the flavor from the fresh herbs. Serve over a nice mixed green salad or drizzle over grilled potatoes and vegetables to complement a summer meal.
