3 Fresh Spring Vinaigrettes

This season's best-dressed salads start with a trio of versatile vinaigrettes that serve double duty.

You will enjoy  these vinaigrettes  . I  cut  this  recipe  from  my local newspaper   about  6 or 7 years  ago  shared it  with family and  friends  and  it  never  got old , actually  I make them year round . Depending on the size of your family  you can adjust the  amount  of ingredients  .
Ginger-Basil Vinaigrette:

Use this as a sauce for fish or shrimp, crisp lettuces, avocado, or rice.
Process ½ cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, chopped; 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice; 2 tsp. minced fresh ginger; 1 garlic clove, minced; 1 tsp. honey; and ½ tsp. kosher salt in a food processor until smooth. With processor running, pour 2/3 cup grapeseed oil through food chute in a slow, steady stream, processing until smooth.
Makes about ¾ cup

Red Pepper Jelly Vinaigrette

Pair this sweet, piquant vinaigrette with fresh greens and tangy goat cheese. It also works as a marinade for chicken or pork.

Process ¾ cup frozen sliced peaches or mango, thawed; 3 Tbsp. peach preserves; 2 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar; ½ tsp. Dijon mustard; and ½ tsp. kosher salt in a food processor until smooth.
