| | | Orleanais Dressing
from Rick Stein's French Odyssey series.
take 1 or two cloves of garlic and crush on a board. add a pinch of salt and continue chopping/crushing the garlic until it is a paste. (fresh garlic is mandatory. the crushed stuff in the jar won't work).
put the crushed garlic into a small bowl and add 2 tablespoons of good red wine vinegar. (I use the Maille brand and refuse to use anything else now.)
also add to the bowl 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard. (i prefer "Grey Poupon" but the Maille is also good.)
Whisk together briefly.
Gradually whisk in 8 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Whisk until you have a nice creamy consistency.
I have tried doing this in a blender. It is much better when done by hand.
-- Joel.

you could make this dressing without the garlic quite happily. or you could reduce the amount to whatever you can stand.
the zing in the dressing comes from the vinegar and the garlic. but vinegar (if it is good and strong) will give you plenty of zing on its own!

| | | Joel, your dressing sounds great as well.....I got my recipe from a winery we visit in NC....bought some of their red wine vinegar and they had the dressing made to sample...it was great! I love experiementing with different seasonings and vinegars. Not a huge garlic fan myself, a little goes a long way for me.
Try the worchestershire sauce added...its a nice change.

| | | Nancy, if you hate garlic try this: Leave out all or most of the garlic and whisk in a little extra olive oil and some creamy peanut butter.

1) Add salad dressing to grocery list for wife
Of course though, if she doesn't use coupons and compare price per ounce...she's not a good wife. LOL

Shopping is always to be completed after midnight and should be completed in less than 30 minutes. There is also no need to go out of the store with two carts full. Heck, even one cart full is too much.
