NOTES : Italian cooks traditionally make a paste of garlic and salt before

whisking in the oil and vinegar, following the theory that the salt further

minces the garlic and the garlic juice dissolves the salt, thereby producing

truly flavorful vinaigrette. Not surprisingly, it works! MAKES 4 TO 6 SERVINGS
