Chef Notes
Chef Brandon recommends making the vinaigrette one day before use to allow the flavors to meld together.
Red wine vinaigrette is extremely versatile. It can be used to dress a salad, as a marinade, or brushed on top of fish and vegetables before grilling.
Flavored olive oils can be used to add a unique twist to this vinaigrette recipe. These oils can be found infused with rosemary, thyme, or other types of herbs. They can be purchased online or at specialty grocery stores.
