Red Wine Vinaigrette
This Red Wine Vinaigrette is a light and flavorful addition to salads, roasted veggies, or even as a marinade for grilled chicken or fish.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or 1 garlic clove, finely minced
- ¼-½ teaspoon kosher salt, adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients and whisk vigorously until everything is fully blended. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to 5 days (see notes on storage).
Notes
• This vinaigrette will naturally separate as it sits—totally normal! If you’re serving it on the side, give it a quick stir or shake before dressing your salad to redistribute all the tasty flavors.
• You can store in the fridge for up to 5 days in a sealed container. Because olive oil solidifies when chilled, let the vinaigrette sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before using. If you're in a hurry, pop the jar in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes or give it a good shake to help loosen it up. Taste Variations:
• Sweet Twist: Add ½ to 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to add a subtle sweetness.
• Herb Boost: Stir in 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, basil, or Italian seasoning for extra depth.
• Mustard Option: Add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to give it a creamy, tangy kick.
• Add Creaminess: Blend in a tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt or light mayo for a creamy version.
