italian vinaigrette

This is one of my family&#x27;s favorite vinaigrettes. It&#x27;s fresh and flavorful with an extra dose of garlic, plus red wine vinegar and lemon juice acidity. It reminds me a bit of the dressing at Olive Garden...although I&#x27;d say this Italian vinaigrette recipe is even better!

Italian Vinaigrette

garlic, minced

c. extra-virgin olive oil

c. red wine vinegar

T. lemon juice

T. oregano

Dijon mustard

Place all ingredients in a small bowl or tall jar. Use an immersion blender to combine and emulsify. If you don't have an immersion blender, cover jar tightly and shake ingredients vigorously (just know that there will be more noticeable pieces in the vinaigrette).

Serve with this Italian Chopped Salad.

Homemade Italian dressing is easy to make and tastes SO MUCH better than store-bought. It's made in just 5-minutes with kitchen-staple ingredients and keeps well for weeks so you can make a quick and healthy salad whenever you want.
