I created this vinaigrette to drizzle on these grilled vegetable napoleons. But once I tasted it, I knew it deserved its own spot on this blog. Not only is it fabulous with anything grilled, it turns out to be a great salad dressing too, especially with summer vegetables.
The cayenne gives the vinaigrette a little kick, while the scallions add plenty of zest to it. This vinaigrette is a keeper!

Love this, so simple, fresh home made is best. Definitely will try this.
This would be nice on a lot of things. Grilled fish perhaps?
I agree with Adora…I would love this with anything grilled! sounds incredibly tasty!
Delicious! I LOVE vinaigrettes – this one looks delicious! Grilled veggies, on top of a salad ….as a soup….!
Adora, Sandra, Ann I think this vinaigrette would go very well with grilled fish or chicken. It’s got some punch… I’ve been using it as a salad dressing too, with bitter greens and it’s a dream!
