The Best Ever Easy Salad Dressing

Jordan Mitchell RD Best Ever Easy Salad Dressing

I am a firm believer in making your own salad dressings. They're super quick and easy to make, plus you are in control of every ingredient that goes in it! This recipe is the best, because it can be tweaked endlessly depending on what flavors you're craving. 

This vinaigrette is tangy, fresh, and tastes great on anything. Seriously, I even ate some on my steak last night and floated up to tastebud heaven. 

Whipping up this salad dressing takes about three minutes, depending on how fast you can mince, measure, and mix.

Best Ever Easy Salad Dressing

The Recipe:
Makes enough for a side salad for about 5 people
- 1/4 cup vinegar (any kind: rice wine, apple cider, etc.)
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1-2 teaspoons mustard (again, any kind; I typically use Dijon)
- 1 teaspoon white granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, mix together vinegar, garlic, mustard, and sugar.
2. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking with a fork or whisk to emulsify. You are done when the oil does not separate from the rest of the dressing.
