Your Jr. Chef can make Lemon-Garlic Vinaigrette


Delicious to top Tuscan ‘bread salad,’ grilled chicken or fish. Practice in zesting/juicing lemons, whisking oil into acid (emulsifying). Shows how anchovies add depth of flavor and saltiness to a sauce without being fishy. Comments say to add 1 T Dijon mustard for improved emulsification and that it’s okay to sub capers for anchovies (just a different/more acidic flavor). Makes about 9 oz. Parental supervision.


http://www.chow.com/recipes/10659-lemon-garlic-vinaigrette


Bread salad (panzanella): mixture of country-style chewy bread cut into 1″ pieces, ripe cut-up tomatoes, handful fresh sliced basil leaves, Lemon-Garlic Vinaigrette; optional additions (any or all) — chopped cucumber, drained capers, roasted red bell pepper strips, green or kalamata olives, minced/sliced/chopped onion/shallot, pieces of fresh mozzarella. Let mixed salad sit for at least 1 hr, stirring a few times. Whatever you try, it’ll be great!
