Haven't tried this, but as this place isn't too terribly far away, I plan to

go. Love cafe food... this one is not a vegetarian place, but leans more

towards it than most. Some poultry, some ham... but lots of meatless

quiches! I love quiche with a passion. I will be sending some of those to

ya's soon! )

top or through the feed tube. Mix until dreesing is smoooth and thick.

 

Note: This can be made in a bowl using a wire whisk to stir. Finely mince both

the onions and garlic. Whisk in oil slowly, until thick.

 

Owner says: " This is my favorite recipe. Feel free to make it yours by adding

different herbs, more or less garlic, omitting the salt, etc. Just be sure to

keep the oil-to-vinegar ratio the same. Make a double (or even triple) batch.

It will keep a few weeks in the regrigerator in a covered jar.

 

Makes 2-1/2 cups.

 

Variation: Parmesan Vinaigrette - the most popular dressing served at the

restaurant. Take 1-1/2 cups of the above vinaigrette and add to it 1/4 cup of

grated Parmesan cheese. Stir it up. Makes 1-3/4 cups.
