2

Chef Notes & Value-Added "Umamification"

To "Umamify" this Vinaigrette: Simply add 1 tsp. RC Umami Sensations® Mirepoix Powder and 1 tsp. RC Umami Sensations® Kokumi Powder to the dry mix step. This boosts savory fullness, softens harsh vinegar edges, and elongates the sweet berry finish.

Serving Pairing: Excellent on spinach and arugula salads topped with sliced fresh strawberries, toasted pecans, candied walnuts, and crumbled goat cheese or feta.
