Recipe Introduction


Q: The Embers restaurant had the best salad dressing, which you published a long time ago. Could you do it again? Thanks.

A: The Embers was a glamorous destination for Miami Beach's golden crowd from 1948 until it was destroyed by fire in 1984.

The signature house dressing was a splashy orange color that many remembered fondly. A 1993 request for the recipe was fulfilled by Dr. Allan S. Land of Miami Beach, who wrote:

'A number of years ago, my partner and I had the opportunity to perform surgery on one of the Embers' chefs. In 'payment' for the surgical procedure, he furnished us with this recipe. I hope you and your readers enjoy it. We certainly do.''
