MARGARITA DRESSING

I have the most wonderful book on sauces and this is one of my favorite recipes in it. It is a fabulous dressing for everything from sliced beefsteak tomatoes and onions to grilled scallops. It takes but a minute or two to make which is always a plus! It is also an excellent marinade for chicken and fish, and it doubles and triples well.
