Notes
- Variations & Substitutions
- Avocado oil
- squeeze
- Make the flavorful vinaigrette dressing ahead of the salad, so it has time for the ingredients to incorporate and chill in the fridge. Bring to room temp for 30 minutes before serving. Store in fridge up to one month.
- Vinegar | Choose balsamic or pomegranate vinegar. White wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar and a splash of pomegranate molasses work well too!
- Swap the Oil | If you find your pantry out of olive oil, use vegetable oil, I like Avocado oil, but you can use Canola, Grapeseed or your favorite.
- Cheese Please | If your salad is not complete without a sprinkling of cheese, try feta, goat, blue cheese or even burrata cheese with this salad dressing recipe.
- Sweet Spice | Add a squeeze of Hot Honey or regular honey to sweeten it up a bit! Or a smidge of maple syrup.
