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

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 made this using Fig White Balsamic Vinegar and red onion. I was so delicious. My guests threatened to lick their plates.
I served it with a salad of mix organic greens, with four thin slices of pears, crumbled french roquefort cheese, candied pecans, dotted with organic blueberries and a few tiny pieces of tangerines adding color in the center of the pears on each plate. This will be my new ‘go to’ salad for special dinners.
That sounds fantastic! The whole salad combination has my mouth watering. Those were some lucky guests for certain, Darlene!
We eat a ton of salads and I’ve been searching for some different types. This will definitely be in the rotation!! Simple yet flavorful. Thanks for sharing
You are welcome, Demetria. I’m glad the vinaigrette will be in your recipe rotation now. Enjoy the salad, and happy cooking!

Making your own salad dressing is so easy and so much better tasting. This looks great. Pinned to try on my next salad 🙂
What a great salad dressing!
My dressing looks much darker than the picture
The dressing color may vary depending on the vinegar or mustard used, but it should still taste great.
