homemade vinaigrette
A delicious and easy-to-make vinaigrette using simple ingredients, perfect for accompanying your salads.
This is a recipe I created when I realized that our bottled vinaigrette was frozen and couldn’t be quickly thawed. It’s very easy to make with ingredients that you likely already have on hand. You can adjust the quantities, or even substitute ingredients high in fat according to your personal preferences. It’s even better when it’s chilled overnight!
