Julie’s Tips
- You can use dried herbs instead of fresh in this recipe, though the flavor won’t be as wonderful. Use one-third the amount. In our recipe, since we call for 3 tablespoons of fresh, you’d use just 1 tablespoon of dried herbs.
- No need to pre-chop your herbs- just throw them in the food processor and let it do all the work!
- You can also make this dressing ahead of time for entertaining, it stores beautifully.
Variations
- Add a little fresh squeezed lemon juice.
- Add a teaspoon of dijon mustard.
- Add a tablespoon of white granulated sugar to sweeten this dressing a little.
- To add a creamy touch, just add a little plain Greek yogurt or sour cream. Now you’ve got a creamy herb vinaigrette!
Storage Notes
While some vinaigrette salad dressings can be stored at room temperature, this one is not shelf stable due to the fresh herbs. Don’t leave it out at room temperature for more than two hours. Store in an airtight container a sealed container, a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid, or a salad dressing shaker in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.Estimated nutrition information is provided as a courtesy and is not guaranteed.
