champagne_vinaigrette

If you’re into clean eating, home-made salad dressings prove to be the better choice than store-bought dressings.  I love to make salad dressings from scratch. Bottled dressings have too much sugar and preservatives for me, so home-made concoctions have been my go-to for a while now.

This must be my all-time favorite home-made salad dressing. I found it online (source below) and I made it exactly as the recipe was written.  It goes great with mixed green combos.

1 clove garlic, minced

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1/4 cup champagne vinegar (you can’t really substitute anything else if you want this great flavor.)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons honey

3 dashes hot sauce

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Just toss all in a blender and blend until smooth.  Refrigerate.

Yum, yum, yum!
