Sometimes I forget recipes. I try something, love it, life happens, and I forget the recipe. This is the case with this simple vinaigrette. Recently I rediscovered this recipe while cleaning out some files, and for the last five days, we've had salad with this vinaigrette. That's how much we love it. We usually make a mixed green salad, add some thinly slice apples, a few chopped nuts, and toss it with this vinaigrette. It brings a little sunshine to a winter meal.
