I am always looking for tasty dressings to drizzle atop my garden veggies. I make a mean Buttermilk Ranch Dressing, a lovely Poppy Seed Dressing, a tangy Honey Mustard Vinaigrette, and a garlicky Ginger Sesame Dressing. But sometimes you want something with enough flavor to stand out. This Lemon Balsamic was it, tart and fruity with enough pucker to complement the sweet of veggies like carrots and beets and peppers.
