Notes

  • I used a 3:2 oil to acid ratio for this recipe. If you are using it for marinades and braising, feel free to modify this to fit your recipe better. Use more oil, especially when you are grilling or roasting your dish.
  • You can add your favorite herbs to make this even more flavorful. A pinch of basil, chives, dill, or parsley will take this dressing to the next level! Here’s a great way to keep your herbs fresh! 
  • As always, do a taste test! You might think your dressing is too tangy, savory, or sweet when you taste it as it is. But try scooping a bit into lettuce or kale first and see how it plays against the greens. Then make the adjustment after, if needed.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to give your dressing a kick!
