Garlic Dijon Red Wine Vinaigrette


I love homemade salad dressings! They always taste so fresh, and they don't have all those ingredients that I can hardly pronounce -and if I can't pronounce them, surely they aren't very good for me. Homemade dressings usually pack a certain WOW factor, (everyone is always impressed when you walk in with your very own salad dressing) which is funny because making dressing is much easier than most think, and usually the ingredients are kept right on hand in the pantry. This tangy, garlic, dijon salad dressing is one of our favorites! I made it just last night, and am pretty convinced that after Mr. Crazy helped himself to TWO helpings of salad (definitely not characteristic) topped with this dressing and also drizzled his French bread with it - he would have drank the rest straight from the bottle, had he been able to get away with it. I always have to double this recipe or there isn't enough!

Just whisk these ingredients together -


There you have it - SUPER EASY!

Garlic Dijon Red Wine Vinaigrette

1/3 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 clove of garlic, minced (click here for an easy garlic mincing trick)

Whisk all ingredients together. Serve over your favorite salad. Store in refrigerator. Couldn't be easier!
