Orange Vinaigrette
"Don't have lemon-flavored olive oil? Simply infuse olive oil with a few drops of lemon oil. Another method would be to place for a couple of days a few spirals of lemon zest (no white pith) in olive."

Very nice and light dressing. As suggested, I made my own lemon-flavored olive oil using lemon zest. Makes a lot! Made for ZWT8 the Wild Bunch.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
