What you think of this will depend on how sharp, acidic, and aggressive you like your vinaigrettes. To me, this is woefully unbalanced and actually makes my mouth hurt. My wife, on the other hand, loves it, however, as I often joke, her ideal version of a lemon vinaigrette is a half cup of lemon juice with a teaspoon of olive oil. Also, by dicing the red pepper, it's hard to incorporate into taking a bite. As a result, when you finish your salad, you end up with a bowl of pooled dressing and a pile diced red pepper at the bottom.
