Why You’ll Love this Recipe
I very very rarely buy store bought dressings anymore. It s so quick and easy to make your own at home, not to mention it’s much kinder on the wallet.
It’s also a much healthier option with no preservatives and this recipe also has no added sugar. This red wine vinaigrette is just as flavorful as any store bought!
Ingredients
- Olive Oil – A good quality olive oil. Use as little or as much as you’d like. For less tang, use a higher oil ratio.
- Red Wine Vinegar – For more tang, add more vinegar.
- Salt – Just a hint of salt really brings out the flavor of this dressing.
- Pepper – Thick flakes of black pepper add a lot of flavor and texture. I like to use one of the largest settings in a pepper grinder.
How to Make
- Combine – Add all of the ingredients to a sealable jar and shake.
- Serve – Toss with salad, pasta salad or use as a marinade!
Tips
- Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.
- Increase or decrease olive oil and red vinegar to taste. This recipe is truly adaptable to your personal preferences!
- Shake before use as the ingredients will settle.

I made this dressing rather than using my Zia’s bottled dressing-it tasted so fresh & only took a minute to make. Thank You Julie!
