"Herbal vinegars make good marinades. Also try this with oil as a different flavored salad dressing. This also makes a pretty gift."

This has a nice light flavor that would be good on a spinach salad or in a marinade for white fish, or chicken.

Married mother of twins. I very seldom ever use recipes as they are written, always modifying and adjusting them. Many times I will take three or four different recipes and come up with a new recipe based on those. <img src="http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/KiwiDutch/3chefstag1.jpg">
