This simple red wine vinaigrette hearkens back to an era of red-checkered tablecloths and Chianti bottles hanging from vine-covered trellises.

This crisp, classic vinaigrette has a hint of fresh garlic, fresh shallots and Dijon mustard, finished with fresh herbs. Perfect tossed with any mixed greens, Greek salad or just drizzled over sliced heirloom tomatoes.
