What a great way to add wine to your salads! This is a delicious cool, creamy dressing that is a lovely delicate pink color with a delicious flavor. We have raised vegetable beds in our back yard and love making summer salads out of the garden -- particularly using this dressing.
We really like a spicy Zinfandel in this recipe but any robust red wine will do, including Syrah, Tempranillo and Barbera. Pinot Noir gives the dressing a slightly milder flavor
Try it on any mixed green salad, or even on sliced tomatoes.
