"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
This was always to be found in Mimi's refrigerator and she made it exactly like this. For pot lucks, I frequently make a tossed salad with mandarin oranges, crumbled bacon, and slivered almonds toasted-in-butter, and folks rave about this dressing.

I've had fun experimenting with it, using different types of oil (usually walnut - olive oil is good but coagulates when refrigerated) and vinegar (usually red wine). Smoked paprika is tasty, and sometimes I toss in additional ingredients (herbs, garlic, citrus juice, cilantro, even chipotle adobe sauce). Have fun!
