Servings:
2-4 Love was in the air when I served this seductive salad, brimming with nature’s aphrodisiacs, this past Valentine’s Day. Adapted from a recipe found in The New InterCourses: An Aphrodisiac Cookbook, by Martha Hopkins and Randall Lockridge, this continues to be one of my most shared and complimented recipes. My sister first served the original version of this salad to me 4 years ago, and the flavors and sensations that aroused my palette then, continue to hold steady each and every time I make it. Use this salad to reignite the flame in your relationship, and if not, well at least you’ll have a damn good salad that is sure to make you scream out for more!

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup raspberry vinegar (not raw) or raw apple cider vinegar

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
dash of cayenne pepper
