We eat this simple dressing everynight on salad or veggies. It is easy to change up by adding differant spice combo's. As written, this has a nice flavor with a slight Greek influence. Lemon juice makes this the perfect addition to any main meal salad adding to any protein addition such as meat or beans! A little goes a long ways! Cutting the oil back and using more of the acid creates a more flavorful dressing that is healthier and adds intense flavor. We don't use sugar but I do use Stevia or other replacement for Cole slaw or a sweeter based dressing such as French

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup vinegar, apple cider or red wine or any other favorite
  • 1/4 cup oil, olive or canola
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 2 teaspoons oregano, dried
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, dried
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed

How To Make vinaigrette for everything

  • Step 1
    Mix all in a jar, check seasoning. Pour over salad or veggies right before serving. Excellant with chicken or tuna on a bed of greens!
  • Step 2
    For a creamy dressing, use 1/4 cup of the mix with 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt. Add 2 T feta or blue cheese. Enough for 4 servings
  • Step 3
    For cole slaw dressing, use the creamy dressing with 1 T sugar or 1 tsp sugar substitue added and 1 T mustard seed. You can also add 2 T spicy brown prepared mustard for a tangy taste treat!
  • Step 4
    For a French style dressing, add 1-2 T of sugar or the equalivant of replacement sugar and 1/4 cup ketchup to 1/4 cup of the vinaegrette. I don't add the dill or oregano if making this style.
  • Step 5
    For an awesome oriental flare, use the oil and acid mix with 1 T hot mustard and than grate 2 T of ginger root and 3 cloves of garlic. Pout this over sliced meats, beef, chicken or fish arranged on a plate of salad greens. We served this in one of the finest hotels in the area back in the 80's!
