Vermouth Dressing
Some wine enthusiasts claim that the vinegar in salad dressing is detrimental to a glass of wine. As it is unthinkable to stop drinking wine during the salad course, the vinegar has to go. This Vermouth Dressing is savory, salty and tart. Personally, I never let anything get in the way of drinking wine with a meal and like nothing better than a salad with vinaigrette and a glass of wine.
