Vinaigrette Recipes

Tender spinach and sweet pears are drizzled with tangy vinaigrette, then topped with rich blue cheese and crisp red onion for a salad you'll love.

Vinaigrettes are perfect as salad dressing, a dipping sauce for steamed vegetables, and a marinade for lean cuts of meats.

This is my go-to dressing. I use it on everything from steamed veggies to salads and sandwiches.

Good side dish and an easy way to get in a serving of veggies.

Chop garlic very fine.

Add dijon to the garlic and whisk in the olive oil.
Add the juice of a lemon and whisk again.
Add the balsamic vinegar and whisk until an emulsion has occurred.

Asian vinaigrette: Substitute sesame oil (decrease to 1 T) for the Olive oil and soy sauce for the lemon. Use Rice vinegar instead of balsamic and add grated fresh ginger.

You can change the flavor by experimenting with different oils (I love walnut, unrefined peanut and avocado oil) and different acidic bases (lemon juice, different vinegars, grapefruit juice, etc) and omitting garlic to tone down the flavor as well. Be creative in your approach to the flavor and use the best ingredients you can afford.

Here is a lovely vinaigrette that I have come across during my travels in France and perfected myself. It's definitely tangy and fresh. If you love garlic this vinaigrette is perfect. Serve it with a simple baguette and a bit of cheese, pour on your salads, or dress your meat with it.

This super-simple vinaigrette is delicious on salads or drizzled over cooked vegetables or grilled fish.

The salad dressing is Kraft Poopy Seed (light)... for calculation... but I also make my own!

No sugar or salt added!

My favorite salad dressing - sugar free and full of healthy fat. Use it also to baste a salmon fillet before broiling!

Best salad ever!

This is a refreshing side dish that is tart, sweet and crisp at the same time.

Just fresh! Mix in with iceberg lettuce...

There is apparently some debate as to whether Agave is clean...we don't use sweetener often. I choose to use it as clean.

My family fell in love with this dressing at Applebee's. Changed it just a bit - see tips.

A refreshing salad - I served it with chopped avocado and a bit of crusty bread. You could leave out the garlic if you liked.

Store bought dressing is not very good. When we eat out hubby always gets Italian vinaigrette dressing. I decided to make it at home and it tastes awesome!

This amazing salad is good on its own as a side and even better over fresh lettuce with a protein.
