How to Make Delicious Salad Dressing with French Vinaigrette Recipe, Perfect for Home Parties
Stop buying salad dressings and make your own at home! This simple French vinaigrette recipe is quick, easy, and incredibly flavorful.
Dressing Ingredients- 4 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 Tbsp Vinegar
- 3 Tbsp Finely Minced Onion
- 1 tsp Mustard
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/3 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Sugar
- Parsley flakes
- Black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by mincing the onion as finely as possible. While using pre-made onion juice is an option for convenience, finely mincing fresh onion yourself will enhance the dressing’s flavor and texture significantly. Aim for a very fine chop.
Step 2
In a bowl or a jar, combine 4 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 3 tablespoons of finely minced onion, 1 teaspoon of mustard, 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, 1/3 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, a pinch of parsley flakes, and a dash of black pepper. Ensuring all ingredients are fresh will result in the best possible taste.
Step 3
Whisk all the ingredients together until well combined and emulsified. Alternatively, you can pour all ingredients into a jar, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously until thoroughly mixed. This entire process takes less than 5 minutes – it’s that easy!
Step 4
Pour this homemade French vinaigrette generously over your fresh salad greens. For an extra touch of indulgence, consider adding some cheese on top. The creamy texture and rich flavor of cheese, especially cream cheese in this case, pair wonderfully with the tangy vinaigrette, elevating your salad experience.
