Hi Friends! Vinaigrette’s…easier to make than it is to spell!! Why buy expensive bottled dressing when you can make your own that will taste better, cheaper to make and the best part…NO preservatives or emulsifiers! Dijon mustard helps to emulsify naturally! Here are a few to try….
Raspberry Vinaigrette
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup raspberry vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- celtic sea salt to taste (I use 1/2 teaspoon)
- fresh cracked pepper
Balsamic Vinaigrette
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup good balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 medium garlic clove minced
- celtic sea salt to taste
- fresh cracked pepper
- 1/2 tsp fresh herbs like thyme (optional)
Lemon Vinaigrette
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 lemons juiced ( use fresh, not bottled)
- 1 clove garlic minced
- celtic sea salt to taste
- fresh cracked pepper
Just whisk them up in a measuring cup and pour into little mason jars and give them a quick shake before using. So easy and will last 7-10 days in the fridge. Find your favorite combo and make a double batch to last all week! I use honey or maple syrup for these. I also add fresh herbs or dry if I feel like it. You can add a little bit of water if it’s too strong.
Note: If the oil gets a little lumpy just let it sit out for 10 minutes and shake it up. Experiment to find your favorite combo :). So many options, there is no need for store bought with preservatives! Go Natural! Enjoy!
