Italian Vinaigrette

Having a salad a few times a week, either as a meal or as a side, is very healthy. It gives your body the TLC 🥰 that it needs. It can be a garden salad, simple mixed greens, or even a julienne salad, as long as you consume some regularly to keep your system moving.
 
On the other hand, there is a downside…
You can eat as much salad as you want, but if you like your store-bought dressing & vinaigrette, you’re defeating the purpose of eating healthy. Even when they proclaim that their products are “natural” or “organic”, for the sake of shelf life, preservatives are added to the commercial bottles. Perhaps it’s only sodium 🧂, but the amount found in them can be quite high.
 
If you’re a foody or simply concerned about what you put in your body, making a vinaigrette or a salad dressing from scratch is the way to go. It’s easy and takes next to no time to make 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳. I’ve shared a few of them with you, like Blue Cheese Dressing, Raspberry Vinaigrette, Zippy Ranch Dressing, Roasted Red Pepper Parmesan Vinaigrette, Thousand Island Dressing, Mandarin Orange Vinaigrette with Sesame, etc.
 
Today, I’m presenting my Italian Vinaigrette! This recipe is so earthy and healthy 💚. It’s made with fresh ingredients combined with a very good quality extra virgin olive oil (that’s the secret to great vinaigrettes & dressings).
 
Like most of them, this Italian Vinaigrette is extremely easy to make. Besides drizzling it over your green salad 🥗, it can also be used on pasta salad… very nice!
 
You can go ahead and buy it 🛒 at your supermarket, but if you are conscious about your health and have good eating habits, this Italian Vinaigrette is another great recipe to add to your folder. You’ll see how much fresher and more flavorful this one is compared to the commercial ones. It will definitely enhance the taste of your salad…

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 3 tbsp. Grana Padano cheese (substitute Parmesan), grated tips & tricks
• 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil tips & tricks
• 1 tbsp. honey tips & tricks
• 1/4 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/8 tsp. ground Himalayan pink salt
• 1/4 tsp. freshly ground mixed peppercorns, or to taste

Directions

 

• In a medium bowl, add cheese, mustard and vinegar. Mix and then slowly whisk to emulsify the olive oil – if you go too fast, it won’t combine properly and separate.
• Continue whisking while slowly adding the honey.
• Season the vinaigrette with oregano, sea salt, and freshly ground mixed peppercorns. If not using it right away, store in the refrigerator.
