How To Season Grilled Meats
Beyond salads & vegetables, vinaigrette salad dressings offer wonderful flavor & can elevate a variety of grilled foods, especially chicken. Follow these pointers for success in your own kitchen.
The Technique
Marinate chicken kabobs or boneless, skinless chicken breasts, beef kabobs or pork tenderloin in the Red Wine-Dijon Vinaigrette at least 2 or up to 24 hours before grilling them according to recipe instructions. To really boost the flavor, add a handful of roughly chopped fresh herbs such as rosemary, oregano, parsley or basil. Reserve extra dressing on the side to drizzle over the main entree just before serving for a deliciously, flavorful meal solution.
