Jocelyn’s Balsamic Vinaigrette

Picture found here. That salad looks mighty good…it’s pear, walnut, greens,
tomatoes, red bell peppers, and feta cheese.

Always one to give credit where credit is due, here’s a recipe for a delicious vinaigrette that I especially like with an herby salad.  Really easy, really good.  Many years ago, in the late 90s, I worked with Cherry and Dorothy (who used to be my blog friends, but Dorothy quit hers, and Cherry blogs even less often that I do, as she works many hours and has 2 little ones….1 of whom is almost 1!  I also worked with Don, who is NOT my blog friend, but he’s a good guy, and was my work partner on projects at that job.   He has a lovely wife, Jocelyn, who is a very good cook.  They had us all over for a party or two back in the day, and she made this dressing for her salad, and we all raved.  I have it in my little album of recipes that I want to keep.  Try it sometime, it’s good.
