"This is not the orange-coloured dressing available in the stores; this is a traditional French vinaigrette I learned how to make from a friend. **This recipe will make enough dressing for a medium-sized lettuce-only salad for three.**"

Create a salad as you normally would (cooking the meat, chopping vegetables, etc.).
Run the garlic, shallot and sardine through a food processor until it is smooth.
Add the olive oil and vinegar to the puree and beat together with a fork.
Drizzle over fresh lettuce (and other vegetables/meats if you've added them) serve immediately or within the hour.
Optional: Top with fresh parmesan cheese before serving.
