This easy vinaigrette recipe is one of my favorites!! I know – I say that about each of my vinaigrette recipes, but this one is really good!
This vinaigrette is made with simple ingredients that you’ll likely have on hand. Extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic and some dried oregano and basil leaves. The mustard emulsifies with the olive oil, giving this dressing a slightly creamy texture to it.
It can be very convenient to buy store-bought salad dressings, but if you keep a few simple ingredients on hand such as these, you’ll never be tempted to buy the bottled stuff at the market again.
After you toss this healthy Lemon Mustard Vinaigrette on your next bowl of greens, it just might become you new favorite house salad dressing.
