Warning: Once you make this vinaigrette, you will want to put it on everything. Use this sweet and savory dressing on a simple salad of arugula, pecans and dried cherries, drizzle it over roasted sweet potatoes or brush it on salmon fillets before grilling.

1 shallot, minced
3 tablespoons sweet sherry vinegar, such as Alvear Pedro Ximenez

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground Tellicherry Black Peppercorns
1/2 cup mild extra virgin olive oil, such as Sèka Hills
