What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Food Whisperer: Vinaigrette Vendetta! Every once in awhile it’s nice to step up your game at mealtime. So often we go out to a restaurant and then feel like everything at home is just humdrum and boring. Not true. By changing the ingredients, a completely different flavor is born. Take advantage of the olive oil gourmet shoppes popping up all over. Consultants are eager to have you taste flavored olive oils paired with specialty balsamic vinegars. They will astound you. Flavors like lemon with pomegranate or lime with strawberry are only the beginning. Think about bacon olive oil with maple balsamic. Mmmm. Have I piqued your curiosity?
VINAIGRETTE VENDETTA
Ingredients:
1/4 cup lime olive oil
1/4 cup strawberry balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon red onion, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons wildflower honey
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
Instructions:
Combine lime olive oil, strawberry balsamic vinegar, red onion, Dijon mustard, wildflower honey, minced garlic, kosher salt, and white pepper in a small bowl. Whisk together until mixed. Pour into a cruet with a stopper. Store in the refrigerator.
A great recipe to try.

This naming! Lol Sounds great, but now you have to tell me what’s the difference between normal and kosher salt? Honestly i never before have heard about “kosher salt”. Thanks in advance, Gail! xx Michael

No additives, like iodine. It’s usually very coarse as well. 🌟

These little treats in the pantry make such a difference. I enjoy an olive oil tasting just as much as a wine tasting. Well, almost…

I need a new vinaigrette for my green salads and this fits the bill. I actually have the strawberry balsamic vinegar and I can make lime oil but I guess kafir leaves would give it a boost.I do have lemon oil and I betcha that would work 🙂
