JEAN-GEORGES VONGERICHTEN'S GINGER VINAIGRETTE

Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Ginger Vinaigrette image

This recipe is an adaptation of one found in Jean-Georges Vongerichten's and Mark Bittman's cookbook, "Jean-Georges: Cooking at Home with a Four-Star Chef." Fresh ginger, lime juice and sherry vinegar are the star players in this simple, sophisticated dressing that will make any salad sing. After putting it together, let it rest for a day so the flavors can meld.
