Is.’s favorite color is yellow. Sometimes when we ask her what she
\nwants to eat, she answers "yellow." So I picked up a yellow-topped shaker
\nbottle that will from now on hold whatever vinaigrette of the week I have
\nconcocted. <\/p>\n

This week, it has been The Original Yellow. Put the following into a
\ncontainer:<\/p>\n

1 c. salad oil
\n\t1\/4 cup rice vinegar
\n\t1\/3 cup lemon juice
\n\t1 heaping tbsp. dill weed (fresh if you can get it, but dry will work as
\n\tlong as you have time–a few hours–to let everything loosen up before serving)
\n\t1 tbsp. sugar (I can’t taste it; probably optional<\/i>)
\n\t1\/2 tsp salt (or not)
\n\t1\/2 tsp black pepper (or not)\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I know it breaks from the usual oil-acid ratio most good vinaigrettes strive
\nfor. That rule does not have jurisdiction here. Next you will stir it together, then transfer it to a jar or bottle of some sort for thorough shaking. Henceforth you will be
\ntempted to eat it on everything, especially leafy greens. For the past
\nthree days, I have poured The Original Yellow over Two-pea Salad (summer greens,
\nsnow peas, regular old green peas (chilled), nectarine wedges, and crunchy chow mein
\nnoodles), submarine sandwiches, and chicken-hummus wraps. <\/p>\n

The dressing, by the way, doesn’t look yellow. But the
\ningredients–except for the dill–reflect or bear the resemblance of various
\nhues not far removed from yellow.<\/p>\n

If you are not impressed with the dressing, perhaps you will be impressed
\nthat this is the 1,000th entry at Earth Wide Moth. That’s<\/em> how fond I am of The Original Yellow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
