Citrus Parmesan Dressing:.
In a bowl combine the grated Parmesan, orange zest and juice, and the shallots.
Whisk in the red wine vinegar.
Whisk in the olive oil and finish by seasoning with salt and pepper.
Or you may use a jar and shake the dressing.
A few more ideas from Heidi:.
Gently heat the dressing and toss with spinach, for a warm, slightly wilted dinner salad.
Use the vinaigrette as a marinade.
Use it to toss with pasta (stuffed cheese filled pasta is an especially good choice).
