Dove with Raspberry Vinaigrette
This recipe is so easy and yet so delicious that I’m almost embarrassed to share it with anyone. I suggest that you play around with this one by substituting different vinegars, preserves, fruits, etc. I like to marinade the doves for about twenty-four hours in the refrigerator, but you can get away with marinating for only an hour or two.
