#Puremade Vanilla Bean Vinaigrette #Sponsored

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Torani

I received a bottle of a brand-new product from Torani* - one of their puremade syrups. I've long been a fan of Torani and used their syrups in my Hot Caramel Apple CiderLavender Panna CottaGuava Gin Fizz, and more. So, drinks and desserts were my go-to. But I rarely used those syrups in any kind of savories.

Then I noticed that a friend had used a syrup in a vinaigrette and I thought to myself: Why not? Sometimes you put honey or maple syrup in a vinaigrette. Done!

As I mentioned, this Puremade Syrup from Torani is a brand-new product; it will be available to customers shortly. But I love that Torani Puremade Syrups contain: no artificial preservatives; no artificial colors; no artificial flavors; and no GMOs!


I whipped up this batch of Puremade Vanilla Bean Vinaigrette and drizzled it on an entree salad with poached salmon. It was a perfect blend of sweet, tart, and tangy. I will definitely be making it again soon.

 Ingredients makes just under 3/4 C vinaigrette

  • 3 T organic mayonnaise
  • 4 T olive oil
  • 2 T vinegar (I used organic white vinegar)
  • 1 T vanilla syrup (prefer Torani Puremade)
  • 1 t dried thyme
  • 1 t pure vanilla bean extract (or you can scrape the caviar from a vanilla bean)
  • 1 t salt
  • 1/2 t vanilla salt
  • Also needed: mason jar with a lid

Procedure

Place all of the ingredients in a mason jar. Place the lid on top. Shake to combine. Refrigerate until needed. Then shake before using.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
