Find this customer favorite dressing at your local Bianchini’s! The original recipe for this tasty vinaigrette originated in 1870 at a small hillside restaurant on the Cote d’azur. The vinaigrette was served exclusively in the restaurant until 1941, when longtime protégé Marianette Becham was entrusted with the recipe. Marianette moved to the United States with Jean Becham, both working in exclusive resorts until the pair opened the French Poodle Restaurant in 1961. They sold their famous vinaigrette in wine bottles to restaurant patrons and the tradition has continued ever since. Enjoy French Poodle Vinaigrette on more than just salads, blend it up into a dipping sauce, use it as a marinade for poultry and seafood, sauté it with veggies, or drizzle some on a sandwich for added zing.
