The simple, bold flavor of balsamic makes this vinaigrette ideal for dressing up plate of fresh greens or a chilled pasta salad.

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, finely minced or crushed
1/2 cup olive oil
Combine the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, and garlic in a bowl. Whisk well. While whisking, slowly add the oil in a constant stream. Season to taste with salt and pepper if desired.
Use immediately or store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Whisk well before serving.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I use 1/3 cup olive oil and add a little water to cut the calories a bit. It's very good on salads or used as a marinade on steak or chicken.

We love this dressing! We either make a salad with it or put it on angel hair pasta with marinated artichoke hearts, chopped olives, tomatoes, capers and pieces of chicken. Like a dish I had at Johnny Carinos.
