I don't think I spelled Vinagrette right, but oh well.

I am on a kick lately, making my own BBQ sauce, making my own salad dressings, and I'm loving it.

I got this recipe for a tasty vinagrette salad dressing from the head chef where I work.

1 Yellow Pepper
1 Shallot
1 Garlic Clove
1 Tb Honey
1/2 Cup Orange Juice
2 Tbs Red Wine Vinegar
3/4 Cup Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Chili Oil

Rough chop pepper, shallots, and garlic. Saute vegetables lightly in olive oil, when the shallots and garlic become translucent take them off heat and chill them. Cook the orange juice down by half and chill. Add the red wine vinegar and honey to the chilled orange juice. Add the sauted vegetables to the orange juice and vinegar mixture and blend all ingredients well with a hand blender. While the hand blender is blending the juice and vegetable mixture slowly add the combined oils. Let the blender incorporate the oil into the mixture creating an emulsion.

Add Salt and Pepper to taste.

Absolutely delicious, and it's nice knowing exactly how I made the dressing I'm smothering my salad with. Does anyone else have any delicious homemade dressings, or sauces they make?
