Simple Vinaigrettes



Mixed Herb Vinaigrette
Serves 1

1 T. Red Wine Vinegar (for a more Greek-style salad) or Lemon Juice (for a more bright, citrusy flavor)
1 T. EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
1 T. Mixed Herbs (Italian Parsley, Dill, Thyme, and Oregano...and Mint, if you're feeling really wild)
Pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper
  1. Whisk all ingredients together in the bottom of your serving bowl.
  2. Top with greens (I use spinach, romaine, or mixed greens with this vinaigrette).
  3. Toss when ready to serve.
I make a salad using the following ingredients:
Mixed Greens
Cucumber
Tomato
Bell Peppers
Feta (if you're doing dairy)




Dark Cherry Balsamic Vinaigrette
Serves 1

1 T. EVOO or Walnut Oil
Pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper
  1. Whisk all ingredients together in the bottom of your serving bowl.
  2. Top with greens (I use arugula with this vinaigrette).
  3. Toss when ready to serve.
I make a salad using the following ingredients:
Arugula
Pears (shaved to replicate parmesan)
Walnuts or Pumpkin Seeds
Dried Cherries (look for sour cherries, without sugar or oil)
Blue Cheese (if you're doing dairy...this one is incredible!)
