Fantastic balance of spice and acid!
This vinaigrette makes a terrific drizzle! I love the balance between heat and acid. So far I've used it as a drizzle for my butternut squash soup (it really helps balance the sweetness) and over roasted cauliflower/chicken tortillas as an almost makeshift shawarma. The 8 oz bowl was also perfect so that I don't end up with too much leftover after those planned meals!
