I made Ina Garten's 4-ingredient vinaigrette, and it's now my secret sauce for upgrading just about any dish
I started by making four batches of the lemon vinaigrette. Garten's lemon vinaigrette recipe calls for four simple ingredients — freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Like Garten, I used a glass measuring cup to simplify the measuring and pouring process. First, I used the vinaigrette as a marinade for salmon. I poured half a cup of the dressing into a plastic bag with 2 pounds of salmon and shook it thoroughly to ensure the fish was evenly covered. I then placed the salmon in the fridge for 30 minutes and preheated the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Later, I arranged the pieces of salmon on a baking sheet and roasted them for 30 to 35 minutes until they were lightly browned. When I tasted it, the salmon was moist and perfectly flavored. Next, I used the vinaigrette to season some Broccolini. First, I washed and dried 1 ½-pounds of Broccolini and tossed it in a mixing bowl with a quarter of a cup of dressing. I arranged the seasoned Broccolini on a large baking sheet and put it in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. I roasted it for 25 minutes, but recommend keeping it in the oven longer if you prefer a crisper texture. Once the Broccolini cooled, I sprinkled it with Maldon salt. The dish was super flavorful and had a tangy finish. Then, I mixed the vinaigrette into a quinoa salad. For the quinoa salad, I combined sliced red onions, hearts of palm, and cherry tomatoes in a bowl with a cup of cooked quinoa. I drizzled a quarter of a cup of the lemon vinaigrette over the combined vegetables and quinoa. Before serving, I let the salad chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to enhance the flavor. When I tasted it, the dish was incredibly light and fresh. Finally, I added scallions to the vinaigrette to make a dipping sauce for sweet potatoes. Finally, I decided to make the vinaigrette into a dipping sauce for sweet potato wedges. I sliced four scallions, added them to one batch of the vinaigrette, and let the mixture sit for 30 minutes. This allowed time for the scallions to soak up the flavor. While the scallions were soaking, I sliced two large sweet potatoes into 1-inch wedges. I then placed the sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl, added olive oil and garlic salt, and mixed it all together. After arranging the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, I placed them in a 375-degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Once cooled, I plated them with the scallion dipping sauce. My husband and kids devoured the entire plate in one sitting. My favorite way to use Garten's vinaigrette was as a dipping sauce. Out of the four different dishes I made using Garten's lemon vinaigrette recipe, the scallion dipping sauce was my favorite. My kids had a great time dipping their sweet potatoes in the sauce, which made dinner interactive and enjoyable. I'll definitely be making this vinaigrette again, as it's the perfect dressing to enhance a dish. Next time, I'm using it for spring rolls.

Amazon building new fulfilment centre in Ottawa's south end
Signage at an Amazon fulfilment centre is pictured in Ottawa on Monday, July 11, 2022. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick Construction has begun on a third distribution centre for Amazon in Ottawa's south end, as the American e-commerce company continues to expand its footprint in the capital. An Amazon spokesperson confirmed to CTV News Ottawa it has begun work to build a new fulfilment centre in the area of Bill Leathem Drive and Leikin Drive in Barrhaven. Amazon purchased the property for the new facility in 2024. 'Amazon has a strong track record in Ottawa: we opened our first local facility, YOW1, in 2019, and today operate two fulfilment centres and two delivery stations in the city,' an Amazon spokesperson said. 'This new facility will serve customers across the country.' Amazon has fulfilment centres on Boundary Road in Navan and on Citigate Drive in Barrhaven. The company said more details about the new facility, including how many employees will work in the building, will be released at a later date. A recent report from CBRE Canada, a commercial real estate agency, said the warehouse will span over three parcels of land in the Bill Leathem Drive and Leikin Drive area. 'Their recent acquisition of the property from Broccolini for $109.1 million reaffirms the company's commitment to the region,' said CBRE said. According to documents filed with the city, the five-storey building will have 60,701 square metres of space, with four floors allocated for operational facilities and office space on the ground floor. The development includes 59 loading docks and a fenced truck yard to accommodate 482 trailers.
