Thread: Vinaigrette Recipe

Another salad dressing. We now have a lot of options. It's healthy and it's low in calories. This is perfect for green salads.

Ingredients

1 medium garlic clove
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons fresh orange juice, plus more to taste
1/4 cup white-wine vinegar or red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Preparation

1. Peel garlic clove and smash with the side of a chef’s knife. Using a fork, mash the garlic with salt in a small bowl to form a coarse paste. Whisk in oil. Add juice, vinegar and mustard; whisk until well blended. Taste and whisk in up to 4 tablespoons more juice to mellow the flavor; season with more salt, if desired.

Tips

Cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days. The oil will solidify, so bring to room temperature and whisk before using.

I love Vinaigrette. My mom is really good at making this. I haven't asked for her recipe though.

I only use vinaigrette for salad.. I think I tried using it as sauce for pasta once. I wasn't sure.. I'll save this recipe now.

I haven't made one of this before.. This would be a good time to start.. Thanks for sharing mikaela
