To make this yummy vinaigrette, I used my Cuisinart Food Processor. This food processor has done its job, and then some, throughout the years. I have tried many before and this one has done the best for me and after putting it through the ringer and back it still works like a champ!! Super easy to clean and holds about 14 cups, its perfect for every application. Best part is it fits in my cabinets. I have had other food processors that hold the same amount and it wouldn’t fit in my cabinets which meant I had to clutter up my counter top. Click on the picture or link to check it out!!

I love a beautiful presentation. I used my glass salad bowl to serve this gorgeous salad. I linked it here so you can get it for your kitchen. I served this salad at brunch with my friends and they loved it. Click on the link to pick one up!!
