Dijon Vinaigrette

Meet my new favorite salad dressing. The recipe came from Better Homes and Gardens, and it is cinch to make. The shallot gives it such a wonderful flavor, and I love it because it has no sugar in it.

You can serve it with any salad you like. My salad today consisted of romaine lettuce, spinach, rotisserie chicken, blue cheese crumbles and walnuts. Yummy!
