Try it with the sauteed or possibly grilled vegetables. Bottled for Dean Fearing, chef, Mansion at Turtle Creek (http://www.dxmarket.com/deanfearingclassics/products/7809.html)
    5. Alternative (tested): bottled cilantro lime vinaigrette. Add in to taste garlic, honey, balsamic vinegar, peanut oil, salt, pepper and ancho barbecue sauce.
