FISH VINAIGRETTE



Fish Vinaigrette image

A delicious cold fish dish tangy enough that people who normally dislike fish find it tasty. I prefer to use fresh fish, but it also tastes fine using frozen fish which has been thawed. I usually serve the fish on a bed of salad greens, garnished with tomato wedges. This dish goes well with baby new potatos and green beans. The 2 hours in the 2 hr 18 min preparation time is the chilling time.
