This healthy Dijon Vinaigrette recipe is tangy, flavorful, and has no added sugar.
Served with the Apple Pecan Feta Salad or the Pear Salad with Candied Pecans and Bleu Cheese, this dressing is always a hit.
I’m stopping by quickly today to give you my favorite salad dressing, this healthy dijon vinaigrette!
As much as I love a good salad, sometimes it’s all about the dressing for me. The right dressing can pull all the different flavors together and make an already delicious salad even better.
Dijon Vinaigrette
This dressing has become a favorite not just because it’s tasty, but also because it is a very simple recipe and doesn’t have all of the sugar that some salad dressings have. In fact, this dressing doesn’t have any sugar at all.
The list of ingredients is simple and likely contains items you already have on hand.
Vinaigrette Ingredients
- olive oil
- onion
- balsamic vinegar or white wine vinegar
- dijon mustard
- kosher salt
- black pepper
Combine all ingredients into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake well. This dressing can be stored for up to a week in the refrigerator.
For a few more terrific salad options, try the Pear, Gorgonzola, and Quinoa Salad, Classic Pasta Salad, and the Potluck Taco Salad for a dinner everyone loves.
I’m looking forward to trying this Miso Sesame Ginger Dressing from Bowl of Delicious soon!
As we get closer to summer and vegetables are coming into their season, don’t miss the Seasoned Sauteed Asparagus, Southwestern Avocado Chicken Lettuce Wraps, and Perfect Grilled Sweet Corn too.
