  • ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey
  • ½ teaspoon salt, to taste
  • teaspoon white (or black) pepper, to taste

Everyday Simple Vinaigrette

Simple Dill Vinaigrette (use the everyday vinaigrette, plus..)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (dill, mint, basil, etc.), minced

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a blender, mason jar with a tightly sealed lid, or small bowl and blend, shake or whisk until well combined.
  • Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Notes

  • If using fresh ingredients such as shallots, fresh herbs, or lemon juice, store in the fridge for up to one week.
  • Once refrigerated, some separation may occur, so shake or stir to combine before using.
  • The balsamic uses the 3:1 ratio whereas the everyday simple vinaigrette uses the 2:1 ratio.
