Red Wine Vinaigrette Salad Dressing Recipe
Skip the storebought salad dressings and make this homemade red wine vinaigrette recipe instead (with simple ingredients you know and love). All you need is 5 minutes and 6 basic ingredients for this restaurant-quality salad dressing that will make all your salads shine.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 clove garlic grated or pressed
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey maple syrup or agave would work as well
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano finely chopped - I used ¼ teaspoon dried
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl (or a mason jar), whisk the red wine vinegar, garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, oregano, kosher salt, and pepper until combined.
- While still whisking, slowly add the olive oil and continue whisking until fully incorporated*.
- Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed before using it in your recipe.
Notes
- Yields: This red wine vinaigrette dressing recipe makes ¾ cups and is ideal for six servings, each serving around two tablespoons.
- Make it in a jar*: While I think whisking oil into the red vinegar and mustard mixture produces the creamiest dressing, you can also put everything in a mason jar, cover it tightly with the lid and shake vigorously.
- Storage: You can store your salad dressing in a mason jar (or an airtight container) for up to one week. The olive oil will naturally solidify in the refrigerator, so give it a good stir or whisk before serving.
- Freeze: Freeze the dressing in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month. Thaw to room temperature on the kitchen counter.
