Basic Vinaigrette

Basic Vinaigrette

This is one of those recipes I’ve been making since I was a kid. It’s quick, easy, and can be scaled up and stored in a jar or bottle in the fridge for well over a week. This dressing goes well on too many things to list and is easily adapted to foraged ingredients.

Ingredients


  • 6 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon golden syrup
  • 1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard

  1. Simply combine all the ingredients into a bowl or jar and mix until everything is…well…mixed. The dressing will emulsify and turn a lovely consistency when it’s ready.
  2. Drizzle away

I’ve added this here because with this recipe there are some great adaptations that can be made!

Blackberry Vinaigrette

If you’ve made some of this blackberry vinegar, then simply add two tablespoons of this in place of the 1 tablespoon golden syrup.

Wild Garlic Vinaigrette

Add a couple of tablespoons of wizzed up wild garlic leaves to the base recipe for a really tasty garlic kick. I like to add an extra squeeze of lemon too.
