Restaurant Style Vinaigrette

This is a shout-out to everyone with a certain New Year’s resolution… this incredible recipe will help kick that stubborn first 5 pounds in the a$$!  Happy New Year!!!!

I’ve mentioned before that I’m a shift worker, I mean looooooong shifts.  I barely see sunlight.  So packing a healthy and satisfying lunch is part of a strategy meant to cope with a difficult and very long shift.  Enter salad.  I love you salad.  I eat a salad everyday at work.  That’s right, everyday.  How do i do this and still love salad you ask?  Well, I switch up the veggies and the dressing, thereby creating an entirely new salad experience each and every time.  Here, we have a new dressing to try!

vinaigrette

A recipe for a restaurant-style vinaigrette, perfect for any and all occasions; a Salad a day keeps the not-so-nice unhealthy stuff away 🙂

 

This is what you’ll need

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tbsp white wine vinegar

The juice of half a lime

1 tbsp sugar

2 tsp Dijon mustard

1 clove garlic, crushed

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

 

This is how you make it

Whisk all ingredients together in a small pot and then bring it to a boil; set aside to cool immediately.

Refrigerate until cold before serving.

Taste and adjust seasoning.

Notes:
  1.  This is adapted from here where the dressing is microwaved; this works awesome!
  2. I find that the best way to transfer a homemade vinaigrette is in a spice jar.
