White Wine Vinaigrette Ingredients

  • Olive Oil – My go-to oil for a vinaigrette. You can adjust the amount to your taste preference. Canola, Safflower, or Soybean oil make great alternatives.
  • White Wine Vinegar – You can use whatever flavored vinegar you have on hand. Adjust the amount – for more tang, increase vinegar and reduce olive oil, for less tang, reduce vinegar and increase olive oil.
  • Minced Garlic – Freshly minced or store bought in a jar. In a pinch you can use garlic powder.
  • Sugar – Sweetens this vinaigrette. You can eliminate or use honey or agave if you prefer.
  • Salt – To taste. I love using thick flakes using a grinder.
  • Pepper – To taste. Thick flakes of black pepper from a grinder is best, but use what you have on hand.

Variations

  • Add Chopped Shallots
  • Honey – replace the sugar in the recipe with honey or agave
  • Dijon – try an additional teaspoon of mustard.
  • Fresh Herbs – Add a teaspoon of chopped herbs like oregano, rosemary, basil, or dill.

Tips

  • Don’t dress your salad with vinaigrette until just before serving. If you add it too far ahead of time it can cause the greens to wilt and go soggy.
  • The dressing has a fairly long shelf life, so make a double batch for an easy to grab dressing.
  • It’s cheaper and healthier to make your own salad dressing – no preservatives required!
  • While it’s refrigerated, oil and vinegar in homemade vinaigrette recipes will separate into two layers. Shake it up well before adding to a salad.
