  1. Plate greens, and any other toppings you desire other than the tomatoes, mango and shrimp. Prepare dressing, thin with balsamic vinegar until desired consistency. Can blend in blender for a creamier texture. Grill or saute shrimp in Chipotle Olive Oil and Mango Balsamic Vinegar. Toss with dressing and tomatoes, remaining mango then plate on greens
  2. Twist: Use Green Chile Olive Oil for more of a KICK to saute the shrimp! Use only Mango Balsamic Vinegar for the dressing. Try Blood Orange, or Lime Olive oils in the dressing. CHEATER: use precooked shrimp and marinate in balsamic and oil for 1/2 hour.

Instructions
  1. Fresh ginger is the secret to the taste of this vinaigrette. Ginger is a root herb that can be bought at any food store. It can also be bought ground or dried, they won't work for this vinaigrette because the taste just isn't there. To prepare the ginger just peel it with a paring knife and chip into small pieces that will blend. Do not drain the oranges; a lot of flavor is in the liquid.
  2. Twist: This vinaigrette is excellent on a salad of shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, raisins, some kind of nuts, green onions and grilled diced chicken all tossed with the vinaigrette. For a little extra kick, add some crushed red chilies, habaneras, cayenne pepper or jalapenos. Combine everything and blend well. Add the olive oil and blend well again.
