Easy Vinaigrette

I love a good Vinaigrette! Vinegar and olive oil-based vinaigrette is a light, zippy, heart-healthy salad dressing. It's great on most greens, veggies, and fruits!!

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, see note

1 ½ teaspoons honey, or pure maple syrup

½ teaspoon Dijon mustard

⅛ teaspoon Kosher salt, or fine sea salt

black pepper

Making a homemade vinaigrette is not just easy, but it also allows you to control the ingredients and customize flavors to suit your taste. This basic vinaigrette recipe, made with extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar, provides a zippy and fresh option that's perfect for drizzling over salads or dipping fresh veggies. Extra virgin olive oil is well-known for its heart-healthy properties, packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. It pairs wonderfully with apple cider vinegar, which not only adds tang but is also praised for its potential health benefits, such as aiding digestion. You can further enhance the flavor of your vinaigrette by including honey or pure maple syrup, which not only balances the acidity of the vinegar but also contributes a subtle sweetness. Dijon mustard adds depth and a delightful creaminess, making the vinaigrette feel more luxurious, while kosher salt and plenty of freshly cracked black pepper enhance all the flavors. Feel free to experiment with herbs and spices to personalize this vinaigrette; fresh herbs like basil or parsley can add a fresh taste. For a little kick, consider adding red pepper flakes! This vinaigrette is versatile and can be used over any green salad, roasted vegetables, or even as a marinade for chicken or fish. Making your own dressings, such as this easy vinaigrette, is not only healthier than store-bought options, which often contain preservatives and added sugars, but also infinitely more delicious!
