Vinaigrettes

These are 2 recipes presented in a page-a-day wine calendar currently in my kitchen, that I don't want to forget about.

Wine Lovers' Vinaigrette
Works well with dry whites: white Bordeaux, white Burgundy, and sauvigon blanc...

Whisk together one egg yolk, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, one cup extra-virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt. Drizzle over sweet greens such as butter lettuce, roasted root vegetables or grilled/sauteed fish.

Champagne Passion Fruit Vinaigrette
Drizzle over anything, but think luscious like avocado or lobster...

1 1/2 tbsp. passion fruit puree
1/3 cup champagne
1 shallot, minced
1 tsp honey
salt and pepper to taste
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Whisk first 4 ingredients and seasoning together in a bowl. Slowly add the oil while whisking. Makes one cup.
