Easy Red Wine Vinaigrette

This Easy Red Wine Vinaigrette is a classic salad dressing combining red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup or honey, salt, black pepper, and extra virgin olive oil whipped together for a balanced, tangy vinaigrette. The dressing offers a harmonious blend of acidity and subtle sweetness, suitable for brightening up salads and other fresh dishes.

Description

The vinaigrette comes together by whisking or shaking ingredients including red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard for a bit of sharpness, and a touch of maple syrup or honey for sweetness. Sea salt and black pepper add seasoning, while extra virgin olive oil provides a smooth texture and richness. Whisking ensures the ingredients emulsify into a cohesive dressing.

This vinaigrette delivers a bright, sharp flavor tempered by sweetness, designed to enhance the taste of fresh greens or vegetables without overpowering them. The Dijon mustard helps stabilize the dressing and adds a mild pungency.

Additional flavor may be imparted by adding minced fresh garlic or shallot, as noted in the recipe's suggestions. The dressing can be stored in a sealed container and shaken before use to remix any separated ingredients.
