Ingredients

2-3 shallots, finely diced.

Olive oil (your best)

Black pepper

Wine or tarragon vinegar

Sugar to taste

Parsley, chopped

Preparation

Peel and dice finely two or three shallots. Cover with good olive oil (try Duc de Foix from The Spanish Table) and several grindings of black pepper. Let it sit a bit, and stir in a tablespoon of wine or tarragon vinegar, and a pinch of sugar if too sharp. Stir in a handful of chopped parsley, and toss with salad greens, lukewarm boiled potatoes, or cold white beans.
