Favorite Summer Greek Salad with a Twist
& 2017 Dolcetto
Once again, you are invited to cook with us. Try this wine pairing presented to you by our friend, Shannon Brown.
This Greek Salad is a mainstay for us during the summer months, light, refreshing and easy to make. We usually use a Greek dressing (see recipe below), but we really enjoyed the Dolcetto with the little bit of spicy kick from the Siracha Glaze. Enjoy!

My Bingham Variation
Shannon’s recipes are great, but sometimes I adapt to what is in the pantry. I did find a bottle of Kinloch balsamic vinegar which was a nice ingredient to use in the Greek salad dressing since I did not have any of the soy sriracha glaze which did sound like a great idea with the Dolcetto.
Did I tell you that we are planting hemp tomorrow? I’ll try to get some photos. More information coming on that.
The recipe that Shannon suggested for a Greek salad dressing from Lisa Bryan at Downshiftology was very good as was the 2017 Dolcetto.
We had a guest for the meal. We alway enjoy when Fritz Westover, our vineyard consultant, comes to visit. While he and Cliff are looking over the vineyards, they stop by for lunch. Very interesting and fun discussions go on.
