Roasted Red Pepper Parmesan Vinaigrette
I love salads! It can be a green salad with fresh veggies or strictly vegetables like in a Greek Salad, or a seafood salad such as the popular Crab Louie, an unconventional one like Tabbouleh, and others like Coleslaw, Caesar, Jicama Mango Pepper, and so on.
When it comes to salads with lettuce, most of the time they need a dressing or vinaigrette. This is probably one of the first things I made from scratch when I moved out from my parents place. I didn’t have a lot of money so buying the premade ones at the store was pricey. That is when I decided to make them at home. I created a few of them including this incredible one… my Roasted Red Pepper Parmesan Vinaigrette!
It’s such a lovely dressing! I use fresh ingredients like chives, oregano, and rosemary. As the title indicates, there’s also roasted red peppers. I certainly don’t buy them in the jar because it’s insanely easy to make them at home for a fraction of the cost. Here’s the link to roast your own… How to Roast and Peel Peppers
When I created this recipe back then, there was one ingredient that wasn’t in the recipe – as I said, money wasn’t flowing well and I was on a tight budget. Later on in life, adding this to my Roasted Red Pepper Parmesan Vinaigrette made a huge delicious impact! It’s Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Oh my! You can skip it but if you can afford it, I highly recommend adding this ingredient… it just wraps this vinaigrette up so nicely.
If you Grew a Garden this summer, this is the best time to use up your produce and herbs. With this flavorful, colorful and healthy Roasted Red Pepper Parmesan Vinaigrette, this is a tasty way to do so! After trying it, I bet you won’t be buying the ones from the store…
