LOW Carb : T's "Miracle" Vinaigrette- salads- marinades- grilling sauces--- All in one recipe!

This has a ton of taste in it.  I've tried to add more herbs and spices only to find it was already powerful enough.  Put this o a spring mix and you've got a salad that will make family reunions think you're a chef due to the "miracle" taste of this stuff....

Don't just put this on salads though... use it for chicken/pork marinades and for grilling sauces!

Does this happen to taste like the warm bacon dressing used at Applebees?  Boy I hope so.

Not sure that I've ever tasted this in any where else other than my kitchen.  I will tell ya what....there was a restaurant called "Charlie Mitchell's Midtown diner" that made the most incredible "Hot Basil" vinaigrette finished with bacon....  I worked there and never got the recipe....i was too busy with chatting with the girls i suppose...  plus I worked in the front of the house, not the kitchen...

Oh well...I'll find the combination on my own and then I'll release it.....hehe..

T, this sounds really good. I want to try this one for sure.

The only thing that would make your recipes perfect is if you came and fixed them for me. Couldn't beat that with a club!

This looks incredible-we're having roast chicken and salad tonight and I am going to make this to go on the salad! I'll let you know how it goes.

This is super-yummy!!!  I used it last night - marinated some chicken breasts in it for a couple hours, then grilled them on the bbq and used it on our salad, too.  Awesome stuff.  And really easy & handy to only have to make one dressing for both the marinade and the salad.  Good Stuff, T!!!!
