Balsamic Vinegarette
July 23, 2006 at 7:05 am 8 comments
During the week in the summer, this is my typical lunch. A big yummy salad. Someday I would love to have my own garden and grow all of this myself. This particular salad consisted of:
*Romaine hearts
*Kale
*Summer squash
*Cucumber
*Tomatoes
*Avocado
*Walnuts
*Raisins
*Flax oil
Most of the time I keep the dressing simple. I just splash a little olive oil, balsamic and raw agave nectar on it and it’s good to go. When I’m feeling more ambitious, I whip up some vinaigrette. My absolute favorite dressing of all time is this one:
Balsamic Vinaigrette

2 t oregano
Sun-dried sea salt to tasteIn a blender, blend all ingredients until smooth. Store in a glass jar in refrigerator. Keeps for 3-4 days. To re-use, add a little water and shake.

This looks really yummy and I want to try it. However … I can’t find nama shoyu or miso, so can you recommend a substitution? We are in a small semi-rural area, so the next time I head to “town” I will look. Our local grocery store (which is actually a good one) just doesn’t carry these items.
