This Classic Vinaigrette is perfect for everyday salads and comes together in minutes! After you make this you will never buy another salad dressing again!
Let’s face it, a salad dressing can make or break a salad. I spent ages trying to create a great versatile salad dressing to help our family eat more greens, and after many failed attempts I stumbled on this concoction. You can use this on nearly any type of salad or even as a marinade for grilled vegetables. I make a large batch for the week to make after-work salads a less daunting task.
I will let you in on a little secret: I use an Aerolatte (milk frother) to make salad dressing and it is the BEST tool. It works like a charm to emulsify the salad dressing AND fits in my cutlery drawer – I love it!

Great dressing! Tried it tonight and will have it for the rest of the week. Thank you!
Fantastic thanks Sandra for the feedback!
It’s not my first time to go to see this web site, i am visiting this web
page dailly and get nice data from here everyday.
What a great idea to use a milk frother!! I never thought of that but am definitely going to start using it. Such a great way to get it all mixed up well. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this recipie. I made this Salad Dressing tonight and we all loved it…even the kids ?
Wonderful news thank you Shelby!!! Tori
Thank You for allowing us to share in your wonderful website full of nutrition & inspiration…
Any ideas for lunch recipes aside from salads?
After awhile I find I get stuck in a rut so looking for some new options.
Thank You!
Hi Shelley, there are so many ideas! You could pack some hummus, veggies and pita, home made healthier ramen noodle soup (a recipe I want to make), lettuce wraps with your favourite sandwich filling… Leftovers are also a great option. I try to make extras of some things like chilli and lasagne and freeze them in individual containers for a quick thing to grab for lunches!
PS/ Love this salad dressing!!
Love the dressing! How long does it last in the fridge?
Hi Candice, a couple of days, I find that it tastes best fresh but have used it the next day with no complaints!
Just made this dressing tonight after Jillian Harris posted on her website. It was absolutely delicious! Have struggled in the past with dressing separation and I don’t have a milk frother so blitzed it in my Nutri Bullet – creamy and delicious!! Thank you!!! Really enjoy your website – lots of great and easy ideas!!!
Thanks so much Barb I’m glad you love it!
Made this dressing tonight for a family of picky eaters and it was a huge hit. So delicious, fresh and light. Will be making this all spring / summer!! New fav!!
Thanks so much for sharing Jenn that’s fabulous to hear!!!
Do you have an alternative for wine vinegars? I can’t have sulphites and am looking for a good substitute!
