A classic dressing for all types of salads that can double as a marinade for meat. This is a vinaigrette with parsley, basil, and oregano, garlic and, to taste, a little lemon juice.
The ingredients are roasted or grilled until charred, concentrating the flavors resulting in a very hot sauce. It is typically served with grilled meats or used as a dipping sauce for fresh vegetables.
White sauce is one of the leading sauces and the base for many others. It is made with milk and a white roux. The milk may be flavored with bay leaf, onion, nutmeg and other spices.
