Honey White Wine Lavender Vinaigrette ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #salad dressing #recipe

Have you ever wanted to cook with lavender? Grow lavender? I have been trying both for two years now. Last year, my plants didn’t get very big. I only got a couple blossoms and I wasn’t quite sure what to do with them, so really all my efforts were in vain because I never used my precious lavender plants.


This year, I fertilized them! They grew quite a bit bigger (though nowhere near the size you see in the pictures) and there are several blossoms. I vowed I wasn’t going to let my “crop” go to waste this time. Silly me, I never thought to use those lovely leaves in my cooking last year! I knew they were edible and I knew you COULD use them, but somehow I didn’t get around to it until after the season was over and my beloved lavender plants were buried under the snow.

Lavender sounded like the perfect thing to “dress up” a salad dressing, so I decided to try it in my honey white wine vinaigrette because there’s a particular salad I have in mind for it. It tastes light and floral and delightful. Just perfect for my pear salad … I think it would be really good as a chicken or seafood marinade as well.
