1. 1

   Notes: Tested June 2001. This quickly became a staple. Use with chef's salads or any salad with added meat. Originally accompanied a salad with strawberries, fennel and smoked chicken. the saald was OK but the dressing was the star. This recipe has reduced the oil by a third from the original; it could be reduced further. Use extra light olive oil -- it works fine. I replaced the shallot with yellow onion and could not detect the difference.

2. 2

   On sesame oil: Resist the temptation in increase the the sesame oil, a liitle is just right. Use a high quality Japanese brand, such as Kadoya (available in Asian groceries). It is more expensive but the intense flavor is worth every penny.
